Anthraquinone dyes are of the general formula: where R' x C1-9 alkyl; alkoxyalkyl, (substituted)phenyl or -O-CH 2 - or -O-CH 2 - (substituted) phenyl, and R' = C1-18 alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, furfuryl, aralkyl or allyl. The synthesis uses reagents HS-R' and HO-R' on an anthraquinone dye. Suitable host liquid crystals are described, and an electro-optic cell in which the crystal compositions is used. The dyes shown have maximum absorptions of 580-602 nm and have good order parameter, allowing bright display.
摘要:
A liquid crystal composition of the guest-host type contains a pleochroic dye dissolved therein. The dye molecule has an end group or end groups in the molecule represented by the general formula: wherein Ro designates a straight chain alkyl group, in which methylene groups not adjacent to the nitrogen atom may be substituted by oxygen atom or sulfur atom; R1 designates an alkyl group having a chain length different from the alkyl group of Ro or a group in R1 a methylene group not adjacent of the nitrogen atom may be substituted by an oxygen atom or sulfur atom, and R2 designates a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, alkoxy group, cycloalkyl group or dialkylamino group.
摘要:
A guest-host type liquid crystal composition comprising one or more host liquid crystals and dissolved therein one or more pleochroic dyes having a trans-4-substituted cyclohexyl group, preferably in an amount of 70% by mole or more of said trans-4-substituted cyclohexyl group among 4-substituted cyclohexyl groups, can afford a liquid crystal display device improved in display contrast and good stability due to no photo-chemical reaction of the liquid crystal composition.
