Asymmetric bifunctional bent-core reactive mesogens and method for preparing the same
-
Paragraph 0097-0099, (2016/10/10)
The present invention relates to bent-core reactive mesogen including an asymmetric bifunctional group, a composition for an alignment film including the reactive mesogen, a liquid crystal cell using the reactive mesogen, and a liquid crystal display device including the same. The molecular weight of the bent-core reactive mesogen including an asymmetric bifunctional group according to the present invention can be controlled by adjusting the number of central phenyl groups and terminal alkyl groups. The liquid crystal cell in a vertical aligned (VA) mode has effects of being mechanically and thermally stable, and exhibiting excellent black visibility and a high liquid crystal response speed. Moreover, there is an effect of fixing the orientation state structure of the molecular semi-permanently to enable control of the pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2015

Linear electrooptic responses in ferroelectric liquid crystals can be achieved via thresholdless switching. The molecular parameters for the design of ferroelectric liquid crystals that may yield a thresholdless response have not been delineated so far. In this article we explore some of the chemical design features that may be utilised in controlling switching processes, and we develop property-structure correlations in order to achieve materials that exhibit thresholdless behaviour.

Several esters have been synthesised that exhibit the antiferroelectric smectic C phase. The core structures, like virtually all antiferroelectric materials, are very similar to that of MHPOBC. Lateral fluoro substituents have been used to reduce melting points and to investigate their effect on mesomorphic properties, spontaneous polarisation and tilt angle. A new device format reported by Lagerwall requires antiferroelectric liquid crystals with a 45° tilt angle. Novel antiferroelectric materials were prepared with fluoro substituents in lateral positions and in a terminal chain to provide low melting points, high antiferroelectric phase stability, high spontaneous polarisation and tilt angles of up to 45°. The synthetic routes to the novel materials are discussed, and the transition temperatures, tilt angles and spontaneous polarisations are compared to those of known materials.

Smetic C liquid crystal compounds, represented by the following formula (1) or (2) are disclosed. R1-O-A1-C≡C-A2-CO-(O)P-R2 (2)wherein R1and R2are C1-18 alkyl groups; A is a cyclic group, such as aubstituted or unsubstituted 1,4-phenylene group, X is direct bond, O or C#IDW#C; Y is -C#IDW#C- or -CH2CH2-; one of A1and A2is 1,4-phenylene group and the other is, 2,3-difluoro-1,4-phenylene group; and p is 0 or 1. These compounds can provide ferroelectric liquid crystal composition of low viscosity, and are useful as a component giving negative dielectric anisotropy and enlarging a temperature range showing smetic C phase.
