, (2008/06/13)
The disclosure relates to fluorinated chiral liquid crystals that incorporate a cyclohexyl grouping in their structure. They can be used as dopants and lead to mixtures of ferroelectric liquid crystals that have an application in display systems. They meet the following chemical formula. STR1 with 1≤n≤14 if X=CH2 Y=--CH2 -- with R=CmH2m+1 and 5≤m≤16 STR2
The Synthesis and Liquid-Crystal Transition Temperatures of Some Fluoro-Substituted Benzonitriles
Kelly, Stephen M.,Schad, Hanspeter
, p. 1444 - 1452 (2007/10/02)
Various laterally fluoro-substituted benzonitriles have been prepared containing a trans-4-(n-alkyl)cyclohexane ring linked to the 4-position of the benzonitriles either through a methyleneoxy (-CH2O-) or an ethylene (-CH2CH2-) bridge.The bridging group links the benzonitrile and cyclohexane rings either directly or through an additional 1,4-bonded cyclohexane or benzene ring.The synthesis and liquid-crystal transition temperatures of these new compounds are described.In several cases the nematic-isotropic transition temperatures of F-substituted benzonitriles are found to be higher than those of the non-laterally substituted analogues.
The Properties of Liquid Crystal Materials Incorporating the -CH2O- Inter-ring Linkage
Carr, N.,Gray, G. W.
, p. 27 - 44 (2007/10/02)
To establish more securely the influence of the -CH2O- inter-ring linkage upon the properties of mesogens of both high and low dielectric anisotropy, a range of ethers with the following general structure has been prepared and their properties examined. The thermal and electro-optic properties of the compounds are discussed, and comparisons made where possible with analogous materials incorporating the -CH2CH2- linkage.

Liquid crystal mixture
-
, (2008/06/13)
There is described a liquid crystalline mixture for electro-optical devices which are operated according to the two-frequency matrix addressing procedure. The mixture consists of three components A, B and C, each of which contains one or more compounds. Component A has a viscosity of at most about 40 cp, a clearing point of at least about 40° C. and a dielectric anisotropy between about -2 and about +1. Component B has a dielectric anisotropy below about -2 and component C has a dielectric anisotropy above about +10, a clearing point of at least about 100° C. and there is a cross-over frequency in the total mixture of at most about 15 kHz at 20° C. Novel compounds for such mixtures and their manufacture and use are also described. The novel mixtures make possible especially high multiplex rates and short response times.
SYNTHESIS AND SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF 1-CYCLOHEXYL-2-(4 double prime -HALOBIPHENYL-4 prime -yl)ETHANES.
Takatsu,Takeuchi,Sato
, p. 345 - 355 (2007/10/02)
A series of 1-(trans-4 prime -n-alkylcyclohexyl)-2-(4 double prime -halobiphenyl-4 prime -yl)ethanes, which show nematic phases, was prepared. Their transition temperatures, enthalpies and entropies were measured. Their bulk viscosities, birefringences and dielectric constants were determined by extrapolation. The bulk viscosity as a function of the third power of the van der Waals radius of the halogeno group, the birefringence as a function of the van der Waals radius of the halogeno group, and the dielectric constants as a function of the dipole moment of the halogeno group are discussed for the 1-(trans-4 prime -n-propylcyclohexyl)-2-(4 double prime -halobiphenyl-4 prime -yl)ethanes.
