摘要:
Compounds represented by general formula (1), which exhibit nematic liquid crystal phases over widened temperature ranges and are lowered in viscosity and improved in low-temperature compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds and chemical stability as compared with the liquid crystal compounds of the prior art, wherein H1 to H8 are each hydrogen or halogeno, with at least one member of them being halogeno; R1 is C2-C20 alkyl wherein one methylene (-CH2-) group or two or more methylene groups that are not adjacent to each other are replaced by ethereal oxygen (-O-); Y1 is C1-C20 alkyl wherein one or more methylene groups may be replaced by oxygen, sulfur, dihydroxysilyl, dimethylsilylene, -CH=CH-, and/or -CC-; and X1 to X3 are each a covalent bond, 1,2-ethylene or 1,4-butylene.
摘要:
A novel liquid crystal compound, a nematic liquid crystal composition, and a liquid crystal display system using the composition are disclosed herein. The liquid crystal compound is represented by the general formula (I): wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a straight chain alkyl group having 1 to 7 carbon atoms and each of X, Y and Z independently represents hydrogen atom or fluorine atom. The nematic liquid crystal composition of the present invention can provide liquid crystal materials in response to desired purposes even by its addition in a small amount without spoiling other characteristics.
摘要:
A compound represented by the following general formula (I), a liquid crystal composition comprising the same, and a liquid crystal element using this liquid crystal composition. (wherein B1 and B2 represent independently a trans-1,4-cyclohexylene group or a 1,4-phenylene group wherein at least one hydrogen atom on the six-membered ring is optionally substituted by a halogen atom, Y represents a halogen-substituted alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a halogen-substituted alkoxy group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a cyano group, a fluorine atom or a chlorine atom, X represents a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom or a hydrogen atom, R1 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, n and m represent independently 1 or 2 and p represents 0 or 1.) The compound of the present invention exhibits a large dielectric anisotropy, low threshold voltage, and favorable temperature-dependency of threshold voltage, as well as a favorable miscibility with a known liquid crystal compound, and therefore a liquid crystal composition comprising the compound can provide low voltage-operable liquid crystal display elements.
