A diamine monomer compound with a structural formula of

##STR00001##

wherein n.sub.1 is an integer greater than 1, forms the basis of a dielectric material with reduced dielectric losses for improved signals transmission. A method for preparing the compound, a polyimide resin made from the compound, a flexible film, and an electronic device including the polyimide resin are also disclosed. The compound has a long but flexible even numbered carbon chain and a liquid crystal unit structure. The reduced regularity and rigidity of the molecular chain make the polyimide resin convenient for film-forming. Dimensional stability is improved, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the materials is reduced, and the materials have good mechanical and thermal properties, the electron loss factor and coefficient of thermal expansion of the materials being reduced.
