Ferroelectric liquid-crystal display of high contrast and brightness. The use of alignment layers containing compounds having an amphiphilicity-providing effect increases the contrast and brightness of the image in FLC displays.
摘要:
A liquid crystal mixture composed of at least two components containing as one component a macrocyclic compound of the general formula (1) ##STR1## in which a, b, c, d, e, f, independently of one another, are an integer from zero to 4, a+b+c+d+e+f being greater than 7, and--A--, --B--, --C--, --D--, --E--, --F--, identical or different, are, for example, --CH.sub.2 --, --CH.dbd.CH--, --CO-- or --COO--, leads in FLC displays to the formation of a uniform alignment and avoids twist states, which is reflected in a significantly improved contrast.

摘要:
The occurrence of twist states in FLC displays can be suppressed by adding ionophores to FLC mixtures. Applicable ionophores are amides of the general formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 e.g. are alkyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl or benzyl and X is alkylene with --CH.sub.2 -groups being replaced by --O--, 1,2-phenylene or 1,2-cyclohexylene.
摘要:
A process for producing a liquid-crystal cell which comprises the steps of:(a) providing a curable sealant portion in the periphey of the side of an electrode plate that has an electrode or electrodes;(b) (i) coating a ferroelectric liquid-crystal composition on the portion surrounded by said sealant portion, with a spacer being preliminarily provided in said portion;(ii) coating spacer-containing ferroelectric liquid-crystal composition on the portion surrounded by said sealant portion; or(iii) coating a ferroelectric liquid-crystal composition on the portion surrounded by said sealant portion and thereafter providing a spacer over said composition;(c) defoaming the coated layer of the liquid-crystal composition by heating during or after evacuation;(d) placing the other electrode plate in such a way that the side of said other electrode plate which has an electrode or electrodes faces the side of said one electrode plate containing the thermally defoamed coated layer of the liquid-crystal composition and compressing the two electrode plates together; and(e) curing said sealant.

A ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture containing two or more components, at least one of which is a complex ligand for ions, in particular for cations, is particularly suitable for use in ferroelectric liquid crystal displays.
摘要:
Electro-optical display devices having a cell thickness of 1 to 10 .mu.m, and containing ferroelectric liquid crystalline mixture, electrodes, alignment layer(s), in which the ferroelectric liquid crystalline mixture has a spontaneous polarization of Ps>20nC.cm.sup.-2 and a natural helical pitch of less than a half of the cell thickness, and contains lipophilizing, lipophilic or amphiphilic compounds for eliminating ionic impurities, Ferroelectric liquid crystal compositions according to the invention show a significantly reduced surface memory effect and an improved display contrast.
摘要:
A process for producing a liquid-crystal cell by using a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) composition containing at least one oleophilic substance that exhibits liquid crystallinity and at least one additive having lower boiling point than said substance, characterized in that said FLC composition is charged into the cell under high-temperature and high-vacuum conditions, provided that the two conditions will not overlap, or will overlap for a sufficiently short time to effectively prevent the evaporation of said additive.
摘要:
Ferroelectric liquid crystal display comprising outer substrates, electrodes, polarizer(s), ferroelectric liquid crystalline material and alignment layer(s), in which the ferroelectric liquid crystalline material has a spontaneous polarization of Ps>20 nC.cm.sup.-2 and a natural helical pitch of less than half of the cell thickness, and the alignment layer comprises at least one lipophilizing, lipophilic and/or amphiphilic compound. The liquid crystal display according to the invention exhibits a short switching time and a significantly reduced surface memory effect, and thus achieves an improved display contrast.
摘要:
Addition of coronands and cryptands to FLC-mixtures makes it possible to bring the FLC material into a homogeneous "bookshelf" or "quasi-bookshelf" geometry. When such a FLC mixture is used, displays which have been shock-damaged can be regenerated by applying a suitable electric field for a short period of time.
摘要:
An alignment layer for liquid-crystal displays which contains at least one compound containing, as structural element, a mediocyclic or macrocyclic carbon ring, results, in displays, in significantly increased contrast, inter alia.The mediocyclic or macrocyclic structural elements may also contain heteroatoms, such as, for example, O, N and S atoms.
