Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid-crystalline medium based on a mixture of polar compounds having negative dielectric anisotropy (Δ∈), which is distinguished by the fact that it has a value for the ratio γ1/Δn2 in the range 6-45 with a clearing point of >60° C. and a Δ∈ of ≦−2.3. Media of this type are particularly suitable for electro-optical displays having active-matrix addressing based on the ECB, PA LCD, FFS or IPS effect.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a liquid crystal blend having a higher perpendicular dielectric constant, as well as a liquid crystal display panel and a liquid crystal display device comprising the liquid crystal blend. Since the liquid crystal blend of the present invention contains negative liquid crystal material and has a perpendicular dielectric constant between 3.5 to 4.5, it can improve the transmittance of the liquid crystal layer obtained thereby, compared with the liquid crystal blend without negative liquid crystal material, while other relative properties thereof such as clearing point, response time of the display obtained therefrom, and image sticking at high temperature can also meet the requirements of liquid crystal devices.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to liquid-crystalline media (LC media) comprising self-aligning additives which effect homeotropic (vertical) alignment of the LC media at a surface or the cell walls of a liquid-crystal display (LC display). The invention therefore also encompasses LC displays having homeotropic alignment of the liquid-crystalline medium (LC medium) without conventional imide alignment layers. The LC media are optionally supplemented by a polymerisable or polymerised component, which serves for stabilisation of the alignment, for adjustment of the tilt angle and/or as passivation layer.
