Liquid crystal compound with negative dielectric anisotropy, composition and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of liquid crystals, in particular to a liquid crystal compound with negative dielectric anisotropy, a composition comprising the liquid crystal compound and application of the liquid crystal compound.
Background
A display device containing a liquid crystalline compound can be widely used for displays such as clocks, calculators, document processors, and the like. These display devices utilize optical anisotropy, dielectric anisotropy, and the like of liquid crystal compounds.
The liquid crystal phase includes a nematic liquid crystal phase, a smectic liquid crystal phase, and a cholesteric liquid crystal phase, but the most widely used is one using a nematic liquid crystal phase. Examples of the display mode include a Dynamic Scattering (DS), alignment mode Deformation (DAP), Guest Host (GH), Twisted Nematic (TN), Super Twisted Nematic (STN), Thin Film Transistor (TFT), Vertical Alignment (VA), lateral electric field switching (IPS), and Polymer Sustained Alignment (PSA) mode.
The liquid crystalline compound used in these display systems exhibits a liquid crystal phase in a wide temperature range centered around room temperature, is very stable under the conditions in which the display device is used, and has sufficient characteristics required for driving the display device.
Therefore, at present, a liquid crystal composition having desired characteristics is prepared by mixing several to several tens of liquid crystal compounds. These liquid crystal compositions are required to be stable to moisture, light, heat, and air which are generally present under the conditions of using a display element, stable to an electric field or electromagnetic radiation, and stable in chemical properties to a mixed compound. In addition, the liquid crystal composition is required to have appropriate values for characteristics such as optical anisotropy (Δ n) and dielectric anisotropy (Δ ∈), depending on the display mode and the shape of the display element. In addition, it is important that the liquid crystal composition has good solubility between the respective components.
In order to perform good liquid crystal display, it is preferable that the cell thickness of the liquid crystal display element constituting the liquid crystal display element is fixed to the value of optical anisotropy of the liquid crystal composition used (e. jackman (e.jakeman), et al, physical communication (pyhs.lett.), 39a.69 (1972)). Also, the response speed of the liquid crystal display element is inversely proportional to the square of the thickness of the cell used. Therefore, in order to manufacture a liquid crystal display device having a high-speed response which can be applied to display of a dynamic image (dynamic image) and the like, a liquid crystal composition having a large optical anisotropy value is required. As liquid crystal compounds having a large optical anisotropy value, various compounds have been developed, and in general, compounds having such a large optical anisotropy generally have a highly conjugated molecular structure, but the compounds tend to have poor compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds, and thus are difficult to be used as components of liquid crystal compositions having good electrical characteristics (electrical properties). In addition, a liquid crystalline compound used as a constituent component of a liquid crystal composition which requires high insulation (specific resistance) such as a thin film transistor liquid crystal display element is required to have high stability.
In addition, among the above operation modes, IPS, VA, PSA, etc. are known as operation modes utilizing the vertical alignment of liquid crystal molecules, which can improve the drawback of the conventional display modes such as TN, STN, etc., i.e., the narrow viewing angle.
Further, liquid crystal compounds in which hydrogen on the benzene ring is substituted with fluorine have been studied in large quantities since the past as components of liquid crystal compositions having negative dielectric anisotropy that can be used in liquid crystal display elements of these operation modes.
For example, a (s-1) compound in which hydrogen on the benzene ring is substituted with fluorine and an alkyl group is provided on the side chain is studied in patent document JPH024725A, and a (s-2) compound in which hydrogen on the benzene ring is substituted with fluorine and an alkenyl group is provided on the side chain is studied in patent document JP 2002053602A.
Wherein R is1Represents an alkyl group, R2Represents an alkenyl group.
However, the dielectric anisotropy of the compound (s-1) is small, and the magnitude of the dielectric anisotropy is not sufficient either in the compound (s-2). Further, as compounds having an alkyl group in the side chain and a polar group such as a halogen as the side group, (s-3) compounds are disclosed in patent document JPH0753432A, and (s-4) compounds and (s-5) compounds are disclosed in patent documents JP2004035698A, JP2005537520A, JP2007031694A and JP 2007023071A.
In addition to this, JP2001316669A discloses a (s-6) compound having polar groups such as alkoxy groups on both side chains and halogen groups on the side chains, but does not disclose a 3-or 4-ring compound having 2, 3-dihalo-1, 4-phenylene groups as disclosed in the present invention, which is unsubstituted on both sides or has an unsubstituted side chain on one side and an alkyl, alkoxy or alkenyl group on the other side.
Wherein R is3Represents an alkyl group, R4Represents an alkoxy group.
In addition, there are the following aspects that need further improvement: since the (s-3) -based compounds have very low dielectric anisotropy and high viscosity, liquid crystal display devices cannot be driven by liquid crystal compositions containing these compounds. Further, the (s-4) -based compounds and the (s-5) -based compounds are not sufficiently large in dielectric anisotropy and high in viscosity, and are low in compatibility with other liquid crystalline compounds, and therefore cannot be contained in a liquid crystal composition in a small amount. Further, in the (s-6) compounds, since optical anisotropy is small and viscosity is high, driving voltage and the like cannot be reduced by a liquid crystal composition containing these compounds.
The above-described display element operating in the IPS mode, VA mode, or PSA mode is mainly composed of a liquid crystal composition having negative dielectric anisotropy, and in order to further improve the above-described characteristics and the like, the liquid crystal compound contained in the liquid crystal composition must have the characteristics shown in the following (1) to (8). Namely:
(1) has chemical stability and physical stability.
(2) Has a high transparency point. The clearing point is the liquid crystal phase-the isotropic phase is the transition temperature.
(3) With a lower temperature limit for the liquid crystal phase. The liquid crystal phase means a nematic phase and a smectic phase.
(4) Has a lower viscosity.
(5) Has proper optical anisotropy.
(6) Has appropriate negative dielectric anisotropy. The compound having a large dielectric anisotropy has a large viscosity in many cases.
(7) Proper elastic constant K33And K11(K33: flexural elastic constant, K11: splay spring constant); and
(8) excellent in compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds.
When a composition containing a chemically and physically stable liquid crystal compound as described in (1) is used for a display device, the voltage holding ratio can be increased.
Further, the composition containing the liquid crystalline compound having a high clearing point or a low lower limit temperature of the liquid crystal phase as described in (2) and (3) can expand the temperature range of the nematic phase and can be used as a display element in a wide temperature range.
Further, when a compound having a relatively low viscosity as described in (4) is used, the compound has a relatively large elastic constant K as described in (7)33The composition of the compound (3) can improve the response speed when used as a display element; when a display element using a composition containing a compound having an appropriate optical anisotropy as described in (5) is used, the contrast of the display element can be improved.
In addition, in the case where the liquid crystalline compound has a large negative dielectric anisotropy, the threshold voltage of the liquid crystal composition containing the compound can be lowered, and therefore, in the case of a display element using a composition containing a compound having an appropriate negative dielectric anisotropy as shown in (6), the driving voltage of the display element can be lowered and the power consumption can also be reduced. Further, by using a composition comprising a material having an appropriate elastic constant K as described in (7)33The composition of the compound (3) can be used as a display element, and can adjust the driving voltage and power consumption of the display element.
In order to exhibit characteristics that are difficult to be exhibited by a single compound, a liquid crystalline compound is generally used as a composition prepared by mixing with a plurality of other liquid crystalline compounds. Therefore, the liquid crystalline compound used in the display device preferably has good compatibility with other liquid crystalline compounds and the like as described in (8). Further, there are also the following cases: the display element can also be used in a wide temperature range including below freezing point, and therefore, a compound having good compatibility from a lower temperature range is preferable.
The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal compound having general physical properties required for liquid crystal compounds, stability against heat, light, and the like, optical anisotropy of an appropriate size, a wide nematic phase temperature range, and excellent compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds, and in particular, to provide a liquid crystal compound having negative dielectric anisotropy with a large absolute value, high reliability, and relatively low viscosity.
