Liquid-crystal composition and application thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of liquid-crystal composition, particularly a kind of have suitable optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy, the liquid-crystal composition of less viscosity, faster response speed and good low temperature storage stability and application in a liquid crystal display thereof.
Background technology
For liquid crystal display device, PC(phase change is divided into according to the display format of liquid crystal, phase transformation), TN(twist nematic, twisted-nematic), STN (super twisted nematic, supertwist to row), ECB(electrically controlled birefringence, electrically conerolled birefringence), OCB(optically compensatedbend, optical compensation curved), IPS(in-plane switching, coplanar transformation), VA(vertical alignment, vertical orientation) etc. type.Liquid crystal display device is divided into according to the type of light source and utilizes the reflection-type of natural light, utilizes the infiltration type of backlight and utilize the semi-transmission type of natural light and backlight two kinds of light sources.
Known in above-mentioned operating mode, ecb mode, IPS pattern, VA mode equations utilize the operating mode of the vertical orientation of liquid crystal molecule, and especially IPS pattern and VA pattern can improve the narrow and small shortcoming in the display format visual angle such as TN pattern, STN pattern.
Liquid crystal material needs to have suitably high dielectric anisotropic, optics anisotropic and good low temperature intersolubility and thermostability.In addition, liquid crystal material also should have low viscosity and short response time, low threshold voltage and high-contrast.The each to performance index of composition is further illustrated according to commercially available liquid crystal display device.Nematic temperature range is associated with the operating temperature range of element.Nematic ceiling temperature is preferably and is more than or equal to 70 DEG C, and nematic lower limit temperature is preferably and is less than or equal to-10 DEG C.The viscosity of composition was associated with the time of response of element.In order to show animation in the component, the time of response being preferably element is short.Therefore, the viscosity being preferably composition is little, and be more preferably temperature low time composition viscosity little.
The optical anisotropy of composition is associated with the contrast gradient of element.In order to make the contrast gradient of liquid crystal display device than maximizing, the optical anisotropy of liquid-crystal composition (Δ n) and the product value (Δ n*d) of the thickness (d) of liquid crystal layer can be set as that the mode of fixed value designs.Suitable product value depends on the kind of operating mode.Appropriate value as the element of TN pattern is about 0.45 μm.During this situation, for the element that thickness of liquid crystal layer is less, be preferably the composition that optical anisotropy is large.
The large dielectric anisotropy of composition contributes to making element have low critical voltage, little consumed power and large contrast gradient.Therefore, large dielectric anisotropy is preferably.The resistivity of composition contributes to greatly making element have large voltage retention and large contrast gradient.Therefore, be preferably and be not only at room temperature in the starting stage and at high temperature also there is the composition of larger resistivity.After being preferably long-time use not only at room temperature but also at high temperature also there is the composition of larger resistivity.Composition to ultraviolet and the stability of heat relevant with the life-span of liquid crystal display device.During aforementioned stable height, the life-span of this element is long.This kind of characteristic is for liquid crystal projection apparatus, and the liquid crystal display device used in LCD TV etc. is good.
Single liquid crystalline cpd is difficult to play its characteristic usually, usually itself and other plurality of liquid crystals compound is mixed with composition.In available liquid crystal composition, preferably characteristic can be obtained, but this species compound optical anisotropy is large not, dielectric anisotropy is large not, help little to being mixed into the large composition of Δ n and Δ ε, thus be unfavorable for being used in the thick product of capsule, directly cause response speed fast not, liquid-crystal composition disclosed in CN101796162A, CN1475547A, has above-mentioned shortcoming in varying degrees.
Therefore, need a kind of liquid-crystal composition, it has high, the nematic lower limit temperature of nematic ceiling temperature low (namely transition temperature range is wide); Low viscosity; Large optical anisotropy; Large dielectric anisotropy; Good ultraviolet stability; At least one characteristic in the characteristics such as good low temperature storage stability.Other objects of the present invention are to provide a kind of liquid crystal display device, its be have that optical anisotropy is large, dielectric anisotropy is large, composition to characteristics such as ultraviolet stability are high, and makes liquid crystal display device time of response short, the characteristic such as irrigation crystal speed is fast, voltage retention is large, contrast gradient is large, the life-span is long.
