Page/Page column 16-17, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides one or more dichroic dyes which exhibit high solubility in liquid crystal and a high order parameter. The dichroic dyes each have a first substituent having at least one cis-cyclohexane ring and/or a second substituent having at least one trans-cyclohexane ring. The dichroic dye(s) may be provided as a mixture including at least a first dichroic dye having at least the first substituent and a second dichroic dye having at least the second substituent. The dichroic dye(s) may also be provided as a plurality of dichroic dyes, each of the molecules of which has at least the first substituent and the second substituent. The present invention also provides a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal element including the one or more dichroic dyes.

Highly fluorescent 1-phenylnaphthindol-6(2H)-one (3b) and its 7-chloro and 7-amino derivatives were synthesized by reaction of 1-aminoanthraquinone with benzyl chloride in KOH-DMSO system, followed by treatment with aluminium chloride.The compound 3b was easily N-alkylated with various alkyl halides in KOH-DMSO system.The fluorescence quantum yields (Φf) of naphthindol-6(2H)-one derivatives 3 were high (0.5-0.7), except for 7-amino derivatives which did not fluoresce.The Φf of 7-chloro derivative (3d) was strongly dependent on solvent: 0.37 in ethanol; 0.02 in acetonitrile; 0 in benzene.The compounds 3 were demonstrated to be efficient laser dyes for 500-550 nm region.
