Liquid crystal composition containing pyranyl compound
Technical Field
The invention relates to a liquid crystal composition containing a pyran-based liquid crystal compound, in particular to a liquid crystal composition applied to an active matrix display, especially TN, STN, IPS and VA displays.
Background
Liquid crystal displays using the liquid crystal composition are widely used in displays of instruments, computers, televisions, and the like. In the field of liquid crystal display technology, the market has been very large in recent years, and the technology has become mature. Liquid crystal display elements are classified into the following modes according to display modes: a Twisted Nematic (TN) mode, a Super Twisted Nematic (STN) mode, an in-plane mode (IPS), a Vertical Alignment (VA) mode, a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) has become the mainstream of the development of flat panel displays. High-quality TFT-LCDs require high contrast, high definition, high-speed response, high brightness, and a wide viewing angle. In addition, low power consumption is also required. In any display mode, the liquid crystal composition is required to have stable chemical and physical properties, low rotational viscosity, appropriate optical anisotropy Δ n, appropriate dielectric anisotropy Δ, and good compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds.
However, to date, no single liquid crystal monomer has been used alone in liquid crystal displays without being combined with other compounds to meet performance requirements. When two or more liquid crystal monomers are mixed together, various properties of liquid crystals can be continuously changed, and a general commercial liquid crystal composition is basically formed by mixing a plurality of monomer liquid crystals.
The liquid crystal molecule introduces a difluoromethyleneoxy (-CF)2O-) expands the nematic phase temperature range to a great extent, reduces the rotational viscosity gamma 1, and increases the dielectric anisotropy delta of the liquid crystal molecules. Liquid crystal compounds having difluoromethyleneoxy (-CF2O-) with various substituents have been disclosed by German Merck and Japanese Chilean corporation (CN1717468A, CN101143808A, CN101157862A, etc.). After liquid crystal molecules are introduced into a tetrahydropyran ring, oxygen atoms on the ring are introducedThe method increases the dipole moment of molecules, has the function of remarkably increasing the dielectric anisotropy for both positive liquid crystal and negative liquid crystal, and has excellent intermiscibility and low rotational viscosity. In addition, the method can also play a role in increasing the nematic phase temperature zone. Liquid crystal compounds having tetrahydropyran rings with different substituents have been disclosed by Merck in Germany (CN1806028A, CN101506189A, etc.).
