A kind of liquid-crystal composition and application thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to liquid-crystal composition field, specifically, relate to a kind of liquid-crystal composition that contains five fluorine propylene ethers end-group structure liquid crystalline cpds and the application in field of liquid crystal display thereof.
Background technology
As far back as 19th-century second half, the many scholars that comprise each fields such as physics, chemistry, biology have observed some compounds and have varied with temperature the unusual appearance showing.Assert afterwards that the formal time of finding liquid crystal was 1888.This year Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer, in the time studying cholesterol to plant action, found the first liquid crystal material: M-nitro benzoic acid cholesterol (cholesteryl benzoate).Find that between more than 100 year after liquid crystal phenomenon, people are not interrupted the research to it all the time.
In early days, the people such as O.Wiener have found the fresenl theory of double refraction of liquid crystal, and E.Bose has proposed the phase theory of liquid crystal, and V.Grandiean etc. have studied liquid crystal molecular orientation mechanism and texture, etc.Echo mutually with liquid crystal theoretical investigation, phase later 1960s is the golden period of development of liquid crystal science and technology.The nineteen sixty-eight R.Williams of RCA Corp. of the U.S. finds that nematic liquid crystal forms striped farmland under electric field action, and has light scattering phenomenon.G.H.Heilmeir is with develop into dynamic scattering display format by it, and makes first liquid-crystal display (LCD) in the world.
Helfrich in 1971 and Schadt have invented TN(Twisred Nematic, twisted nematic) principle, people utilize TN photovoltaic effect and unicircuit to combine, and are made display device (TN-LCD), for wide prospect has been opened up in the application of liquid crystal.Since the seventies, due to the development of large-scale integrated circuit and liquid crystal material, the people such as the application of liquid crystal aspect demonstration obtained breakthrough development, 1983~1985 years T.Scheffer successively propose super-twist nematic (Super Twisred Nematic:STN) pattern; Active matrix (Active matrix:AM) mode that P.Brody proposed in 1972 is adopted again.Since 1980, the invention of Thin Film Transistor-LCD technology, makes liquid-crystal display become the outstanding person of digital information epoch technique of display, has fundamentally changed the looks of liquid crystal industry.The R.A.SOREF of the U.S. in 1973 proposes liquid crystal photoelectric characteristic under transverse electric field; 1992, German G.Baur research team proposed noun In-Plane Switching first in paper, proposed IPS and was improved visual angle viewpoint, and IPS-LCD panel in 1996 is at first by Japanese Hitachi(Hitachi) Developed.The first-generation IPS of Hitachi indicating meter, visual angle can be promoted to 160 degree, and the reaction times can foreshorten to 40ms.FFS(Fringe Field Switching) technique of display is by the Korea S Hydis(modern times the earliest) research and development of technique of display department, be the innovation to IPS, be also the Development Technology of IPS.Similar with IPS, the electrode of FFS is also in same substrate, but the design to electrode and the selection of material are optimized: change IPS opaque electrode into transparency electrode, and dwindle electrode width and spacing, increased transmittance, visual angle also reaches 180 degree and maximizes.
TFT-LCD technology and initial product are in Europe and produced in USA, but its extensive commercial application is completed by Japan, within 1993, Korea S starts to get involved TFT-LCD industry, and obtain very soon stronger competitive power, the Taiwan of China in 1998 starts to have added the sector, on industry size, almost occupied half of the country by 2005, from integral layout, the critical role of China in this industry constantly manifests at present.
At present, although TFT-LCD product technology is day by day ripe, can successfully solve the technical barriers such as visual angle, resolving power, fullness of shade and brightness, its display performance has approached or has exceeded CRT monitor, large size and small-medium size TFT-LCD indicating meter occupy the dominant position of flat-panel monitor gradually in field separately, but are subject to the restriction of liquid crystal material itself, and it is fast not that TFT-LCD still exists response speed, voltage is low not, the high not many defects of electric charge conservation rate.Therefore, from liquid crystal material, develop the TFT liquid crystal compound of quick response, high electric charge conservation rate, become focus and difficult point in industry.
Making a general survey of the liquid crystal material evolution showing for TFT can find, the exploitation of liquid crystalline cpd is all towards the future development of high electric charge conservation rate, high dielectric anisotropy, excellent low temperature mutual solubility, substitute onto last polyfluoro from initial single fluorine and replace, so afterwards-CF
2the liquid crystalline cpds such as the super polyfluoro replacement of O-bridged bond, ripe liquid crystalline cpd is with stable hexa-atomic aromatic nucleus (as phenyl ring) and hexa-atomic alkyl ring (as hexamethylene ring) composition, and its end bit substituent is mostly alkyl or alkenyl.End bit substituent is that the compound of polyfluoro thiazolinyl has good chemistry and thermostability, and electric field and magnetic field are had to high stability, and low temperature mutual solubility is also very desirable, is suitable for mixed liquid crystal compound.
The involved in the present invention compound that contains polyfluoro thiazolinyl ethers end-group structure, be first disclosed as the Japanese Patent JP2003015547 of Japanese Xu electricity Chemical Co., Ltd, this type of structural compounds has higher dielectric anisotropy and lower rotary viscosity, is suitable for TFT liquid-crystal display and uses.Liquid-crystal composition involved in the present invention, is applied to TFT liquid-crystal display, can solve its response speed fast not, and voltage is low not, the high not many defects of electric charge conservation rate.
