Fluorine-containing chiral smectic liquid crystals

Compounds are provided which comprise a fluorocarbon terminal portion and a chiral hydrocarbon terminal portion, said terminal portions being connected by a central core, said compounds having tilted smectic mesophases or having latent tilted smectic mesophases which develop when said compounds having said latent mesophases are in admixture with said compounds having tilted smectic mesophases or said compounds having latent tilted smectic mesophases.

Achiral fluorine-containing liquid crystals

Achiral fluorine-containing liquid crystal compounds are provided. The compounds comprise a fluorocarbon terminal portion and a hydrocarbon or another fluorocarbon terminal portion, the terminal portions being connected by a central core, the compounds having smectic mesophases or having latent smectic mesophases. The compounds are useful in liquid crystal display devices both along and in mixtures with other materials. Also provided is a process for preparing these compounds.
