Description

Liquid crystal composition and element for phase control of electromagnetic wave signals
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an element for controlling the phase of an electromagnetic wave signal having a frequency of 1MHz to 400THz and a liquid crystal composition used for the element. The composition has a nematic phase, and positive or negative dielectric constant anisotropy.
Background
Examples of the element for controlling the phase of the electromagnetic wave signal having a frequency of 1MHz to 400THz include a millimeter wave band, a microwave band antenna, and an infrared laser element. Various methods have been studied for these elements, but a method using a liquid crystal which is considered to have few failures due to the absence of a mechanically movable portion has been attracting attention.
The orientation of the molecules of the liquid crystal changes according to an external bias electric field, and the dielectric constant changes. By utilizing such properties, for example, a microwave device capable of electrically controlling the transmission characteristics of a high-frequency transmission line from the outside can be realized. As such a device, a voltage-controlled millimeter-wave band variable phase shifter in which a waveguide is filled with nematic liquid crystal, a microwave/millimeter-wave band variable phase shifter using nematic liquid crystal as a dielectric substrate of a microstrip line, and the like have been reported (patent documents 1 and 2).
Such an element for controlling the phase of an electromagnetic wave signal desirably has characteristics such as a wide usable temperature range, high gain, and low loss. Therefore, the characteristics of the liquid crystal composition require a high upper limit temperature of the nematic phase, a low lower limit temperature of the nematic phase, a low viscosity, a large optical anisotropy in a frequency range used for phase control, a large dielectric constant anisotropy, a small dielectric loss, a large specific resistance in a drive frequency range, stability against heat, and the like.

[ Effect of the invention ]
The composition of the present invention has a high upper limit temperature of a nematic phase, a low lower limit temperature of a nematic phase, a large optical anisotropy in a frequency region used for phase control, a small dielectric loss, and stability to heat. Therefore, an element using the material has excellent characteristics in terms of practical use.
Detailed Description
The liquid crystal composition of the present invention is sometimes simply referred to as "composition". In the device of the present invention, the phase in the "composition" may be not only a nematic phase but also another liquid crystal phase or an isotropic liquid. When used as an element, the element may be in a liquid crystal phase, and a nematic phase is preferred.
Examples of elements used for phase control of electromagnetic wave signals having frequencies of 1MHz to 400THz include millimeter-wave band variable phase shifters and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) elements.
The term "liquid crystalline compound" refers to a compound having a liquid crystal phase such as a nematic phase or a smectic phase, or a compound having no liquid crystal phase but being useful as a component of a composition. The useful compounds contain a six-membered ring such as 1, 4-cyclohexylene or 1, 4-phenylene and have a linear molecular structure. An optically active compound is sometimes added to the composition. Even if the compound is a liquid crystalline compound, it is classified as an additive herein.
The upper limit temperature of the nematic phase may be simply referred to as "upper limit temperature". The lower limit temperature of the nematic phase may be simply referred to as "lower limit temperature".
The "large specific resistance" means that the composition has a large specific resistance not only at room temperature but also at high temperature in the initial stage, and also has a large specific resistance not only at room temperature but also at high temperature after long-term use. In describing the properties such as optical anisotropy, values measured by the method described in examples were used. The "proportion of the first component" means a weight percentage (wt%) based on the total weight of the liquid crystalline compound. The same applies to the ratio of the second component and the like. The proportion of the additive mixed into the composition means a weight percentage (wt%) based on the total weight of the liquid crystalline compound.
The compound of formula (1) as the first component of the present invention will be described in more detail. Z of formula (1) of the present invention2Compounds which are-C.ident.C-in contrast to, for example, Z2The compound having a single bond tends to have poor stability to ultraviolet light. Therefore, it is difficult to practically apply the composition comprising the compound to display applications using visible light including ultraviolet light or near ultraviolet light. However, since the compound of formula (1) of the present invention has high refractive index anisotropy, it is preferable to use a composition comprising the compound of formula (1) for phase control of electromagnetic wave signals having a frequency of 1MHz to 400THz, which are lower in energy than ultraviolet and visible light.
In this case, in order to expand the liquid crystal temperature range or increase the response speed while maintaining the optical anisotropy of the composition, it is preferable to select an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or an alkenyl group as R of the compound of formula (1)2. R of the Compound of formula (1)1And R2In order to expand the temperature range of the nematic phase of the composition, the preferred alkyl group is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, or octyl. Further preferred alkyl groups for reducing the viscosity are ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl or heptyl.

The polymerizable compound is polymerized by ultraviolet irradiation. The polymerization may be carried out in the presence of an initiator such as a photopolymerization initiator. Suitable conditions, suitable types of initiators, and suitable amounts to carry out the polymerization are known to those skilled in the art and are described in the literature.

When the liquid crystal composition of the present invention is applied to a device, an alignment film made of polyimide or the like is used to align the liquid crystal composition. On the other hand, an alignment control agent is also added to the liquid crystal in order to align the liquid crystal composition. As such an alignment controlling agent, compounds described in WO2017-057162, WO2012-104008, WO2016-129490, and the like can be preferably used.
Finally, the use of the composition is illustrated. Most of the compositions have a lower limit temperature of-10 ℃ or lower, an upper limit temperature of 70 ℃ or higher, and an optical anisotropy of 0.16 to 0.35.
The dielectric constant of a dielectric material such as a liquid crystal changes depending on frequency and temperature. Therefore, the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant is referred to as the dielectric characteristics of the dielectric body. When an ac electric field is applied to the liquid crystal, as the frequency f increases, an internal electric dipole (electric dipole) follows the change of the electric field, so that the dielectric constant ∈ 'decreases, while the conductivity σ' increases, and the dielectric loss ∈ ″ shows a peak, which is a dielectric relaxation (dielectric relaxation).
In the microwave and millimeter wave region, the method of mounting the device or the sample is completely different depending on the frequency region to be measured. For the reason that analysis of an electromagnetic field is easy up to 10GHz, a probe is often assembled with a measurement system centered on a network analyzer using an open-end coaxial type unit, and a spectrum of a complex dielectric constant (dielectric relaxation spectrum) of a sample is obtained by scanning the frequency. Above several 10GHz, it is desirable to use waveguides rather than coaxial cables. In order to calculate the dielectric constant, it is necessary to appropriately determine the boundary condition when the electromagnetic wave is incident on the sample, and if the wavelength is shortened, it is necessary to perform precise processing accordingly. In a low frequency region, a cell to be a capacitor was produced, a sample was inserted into the cell, and the dielectric constant was determined from the change in capacitance.
Examples
The present invention will be further described in detail by way of examples. The present invention is not limited by these examples. Unless otherwise specified, examples were carried out at room temperature (25 ℃).
< determination method >
The measurement and verification were carried out by the following methods. Unless otherwise specified, the measurement method not described in the present specification is based on Japanese electronic information technology Industries Association (JEITA) ED-2521B.
< Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) >
NMR was measured using DRX-500 manufactured by Bruker BioSpin.1In the measurement of H-NMR, a sample was dissolved in CDCl3And deuterated solvents. The measurement was carried out at room temperature at 500 MHz. At this time, the number of times of integration was 16. The internal standard was tetramethylsilane. In the symbols of NMR, s is a singlet (singlet), d is a doublet (doublt), t is a triplet (triplet), q is a quartet (quatet), quin is a quintet (quintet), sex is a sextant (sextet), m is a multiplet (multiplex), br is a doubletRefers to broad peak (broad).
< Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) measurement >)
The measurement was performed using a differential scanning calorimeter (damond DSC from Perkin Elmer). The transition temperature is expressed by the temperature in degrees celsius between the expressions representing the phases. In the expression of phases, C is a crystalline layer, N is a nematic phase, S is a smectic phase, and I is an isotropic liquid. In the expression indicating the phase, the description of the phase in parentheses indicates a liquid crystal phase of a single transition (monotropic).
< gas chromatography >
For measurement, a GC-2014 type gas chromatograph manufactured by Shimadzu corporation was used. The carrier gas was helium (2 mL/min). The sample vaporizer was set at 280 ℃ and the detector (flame ionization detector, FID) was set at 300 ℃. The separation of the component compounds was carried out using a capillary column DB-1 (length 30m, inner diameter 0.32mm, film thickness 0.25 μm; stationary liquid phase is dimethylpolysiloxane; non-polar) manufactured by Agilent technologies Inc. After preparing the sample into an acetone solution (0.1 wt%), 1. mu.L thereof was injected into the sample vaporization chamber. The obtained gas chromatogram showed the retention time of the peak corresponding to the component compound and the area of the peak.
< High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis >
The measurement was carried out using HPLC LC-2000Plus manufactured by Japan Spectroscopy Co., Ltd. at a flow rate of the solvent of 1 ml/min. The peak value of each component was detected at a wavelength of 254nm using a UV-Vis detector.
< upper limit temperature of nematic phase >
In the embodiment, "NI" is an "upper limit temperature".
The upper limit temperature is a measured value of the temperature at which a sample is placed on a hot plate of a melting point measuring apparatus equipped with a polarizing microscope and heated at a rate of 1 ℃/min to cause a part of the sample to undergo a self-nematic phase transition into an isotropic liquid.
< lower limit temperature of nematic phase >
In the examples, "Tc" is a "lower limit temperature".
The lower limit temperature is determined by placing a sample having a nematic phase in a glass bottle, keeping the bottle in a freezer at 0 ℃, -10 ℃, -20 ℃, -30 ℃ and-40 ℃ for 10 days, and observing the phase.
Refractive index anisotropy in visible light
In the examples, the refractive index anisotropy is expressed as "Δ n".
Δ n was measured by an abbe refractometer having a polarizing plate attached to an eyepiece lens.
After rubbing the surface of the main prism in one direction, a sample was dropped onto the main prism, and the refractive index of the polarized light in the direction perpendicular to the rubbing direction was measured as n ⊥, and the refractive index of the polarized light in the direction parallel to the rubbing direction was measured as n/. DELTA.n was calculated from the value of DELTA.n/n ⊥.
At this time, light having a wavelength of 589nm was used, and the measurement temperature was 25 ℃.
Dielectric anisotropy at < 1kHz
The value of dielectric anisotropy was calculated from the formula of Δ ∈ epsilon/epsilon ⊥, and the dielectric constants (epsilon/and epsilon ⊥) were measured as follows.
(A) Measurement of dielectric constant (. epsilon. /): a solution of octadecyltriethoxysilane (0.16mL) in ethanol (20mL) was coated on the well-cleaned glass substrate. The glass substrate was rotated by a rotator and then heated at 150 ℃ for 1 hour. A sample was placed in a Vertical Alignment (VA) cell having a gap of 4 μm between two glass substrates, and the cell was sealed with an adhesive cured with ultraviolet rays. A sine wave (0.5V, 1kHz) was applied to the cell, and the dielectric constant (. epsilon. /) in the long axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules was measured after 2 seconds.
(B) Measurement of dielectric constant (. epsilon. ⊥) A polyimide solution was applied to a well-cleaned glass substrate, the glass substrate was fired, and the obtained alignment film was rubbed, a sample was injected into a Twisted Nematic (TN) cell having a gap of 9 μm between two glass substrates and a twist angle of 80 degrees, a sine wave (0.5V, 1kHz) was applied to the cell, and the dielectric constant (. epsilon. ⊥) in the short axis direction of liquid crystal molecules was measured after 2 seconds.
< Voltage Holding Ratio (VHR) >)
The unit for measurement has the following structure. That is, an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) electrode and a rubbed polyimide alignment film are sequentially disposed on each substrate. Two of the substrates were bonded with the alignment film surface on the inner side so that the angle of the rubbing direction between the upper and lower substrates was 80 degrees. The gap between the two glass substrates (cell gap) was 5 μm. A liquid crystal composition is put into the cell, and then sealed with an adhesive hardened with ultraviolet rays. The TN cell was charged by applying a pulse voltage (5V, 60 μ sec). The decayed voltage was measured by a high-speed voltmeter for a period of 16.7 milliseconds, and the area a between the voltage curve and the horizontal axis in the unit cycle was determined. The area B is the area when not attenuated. The voltage holding ratio is expressed by a percentage of the area a to the area B.
Refractive index anisotropy and dielectric loss at & lt 50GHz
The refractive index anisotropy was measured by the method disclosed in Applied Optics (Applied Optics), vol.44, No.7, p1150(2005), in which a variable short-circuit waveguide of a V-band to which a window material was attached was filled with a liquid crystal and held in a static magnetic field of 0.3T for 3 minutes, a microwave of 50GHz was input to the waveguide, the amplitude ratio of a reflected wave to an incident wave was measured, the direction of the static magnetic field and the length of the short-circuit were changed to measure the direction, and the refractive index (ne, no) and the loss parameter (α e, α o) were determined, and the refractive index anisotropy (Δ n) was calculated from ne-no.
The complex dielectric constant (s ', s ") was used and calculated as the dielectric loss (tan δ) ═ s"/s'. The calculated refractive index, loss parameter and the following relational expression are used for calculating the complex dielectric constant.
Here, c is the light velocity of the vacuum. The dielectric loss is also anisotropic, and thus the numerical value is large.
