Description

Liquid crystal composition and liquid crystal display element
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal display element using the same.
Background
Liquid crystal display devices have been used for watches, electronic calculators, and various electric devices for home use, measuring instruments, automotive panels, word processors, electronic notepads, printers, computers, televisions, and the like. As a liquid crystal display system, a TN (twisted nematic) system, an STN (super twisted nematic) system, a DS (dynamic light scattering) system, a GH (guest host) system, an IPS (in-plane switching) system, an OCB (optically compensated birefringence) system, an ECB (voltage controlled birefringence) system, a VA (vertical alignment) system, a CSH (color supervertical) system, a FLC (ferroelectric liquid crystal) system, or the like can be exemplified. The driving method may be a static driving method, a multiplex driving method, a simple matrix method, or an Active Matrix (AM) method using a TFT (thin film transistor), a TFD (thin film diode), or the like. Among these display modes, IPS type, ECB type, VA type, CSH type, and the like have a characteristic that a liquid crystal composition exhibiting a negative value using Δε (dielectric anisotropy) is used. Among these, the VA display system using AM driving is used for applications such as a display element, for example, a television or a monitor, which requires high-speed response and a wide viewing angle.
As a liquid crystal composition having a negative Δ∈, liquid crystal compositions using the following liquid crystal compounds (a) to (E) having a 2, 3-difluorophenylene skeleton and the like are disclosed (see patent document 1).
[ chemical 1]
However, neither liquid crystal composition can satisfy both the response speed and reliability required for a large-sized liquid crystal display element in particular.
Patent document 2 discloses that the response speed of a homeotropic alignment liquid crystal cell is improved by using a liquid crystal material having a large index (FoM) expressed by the following expression, but it cannot be said that the requirement is satisfied sufficiently.
[ number 1]
FoM=K 33 ·Δn 2 /γ1
In view of the aboveIn a liquid crystal composition requiring high-speed response and high reliability such as a liquid crystal television, the nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature (T NI ) And refractive index anisotropy (Δn), requires rotational viscosity (γ) 1 ) Small spring constant (K) 33 ) Large, gamma 1 /K 33 Small, and the voltage holding ratio VHR is high.

Thus, it was confirmed that: if the compositions of examples 1 and 2 are used to manufacture VA-type and FFS-type liquid crystal display devices, the response time is short and VHR is high. At this time, it was also confirmed that no display failure was observed. In contrast, the compositions of the comparative examples were also prepared as VA-type and FFS-type liquid crystal display devices, and the response time was measured, but the response time was deteriorated as compared with the compositions of the examples.
