Description

Liquid crystal composition, liquid crystal display element, and compound
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a liquid crystal composition, a liquid crystal display element using the same, and a compound. More specifically, the present invention relates to a so-called n-type liquid crystal composition exhibiting a negative dielectric anisotropy (Δ ∈), and a compound suitable for the production of the n-type liquid crystal composition.
Background
Liquid crystal display devices are used in various household electric appliances, industrial measuring instruments, automobile panels, cellular phones, smart phones, notebook Personal Computers (PCs), tablet PCs, televisions, and the like, as typified by clocks and desktop computers. Representative examples of liquid crystal display systems include: twisted Nematic (TN) type, Super Twisted Nematic (STN) type, guest-host (GH) type, in-plane switching (IPS) type, Fringe Field Switching (FFS) type, Optically Compensated Birefringence (OCB) type, Electrically Controlled Birefringence (ECB) type, Vertically Aligned (VA) type, Color Super Homeotropic (CSH) type, Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal (FLC) type, and the like. The driving method may be static driving, multiplex driving, simple matrix driving, or Active Matrix (AM) driving by a Thin Film Transistor (TFT), a Thin Film Diode (TFD), or the like. Among these display modes, it is known that when a liquid crystal composition (n-type liquid crystal composition) exhibiting a negative dielectric anisotropy is used, the IPS mode, FFS mode, ECB mode, VA mode, CSH mode, and the like exhibit favorable characteristics.
The display modes using the n-type liquid crystal composition include a vertical Alignment mode represented by a Polymer Stabilized Alignment (PSA) type or a Polymer Stabilized Vertical Alignment (PSVA) type in which Alignment is controlled by polymerizing a VA-type or a polymerizable compound in a liquid crystal phase, and a horizontal Alignment mode represented by an IPS-type or FFS-type. The vertical alignment method is characterized by a wide viewing angle, high transmittance, high contrast, and a high response speed, and is mainly used for large-sized display devices such as Televisions (TVs) and monitors. On the other hand, the horizontal alignment method is adopted in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs, and is also being adopted in liquid crystal televisions from the viewpoint of a wide viewing angle, high transmittance, low power consumption, and optimality with respect to touch panels. The PSA-type or PSVA-type liquid crystal display device is a device in which a polymer structure is formed in a cell in order to control the pretilt angle of liquid crystal molecules, and is known to have a high-speed response and a high contrast ratio, particularly, in the characteristics of the vertical alignment method.
In recent years, with the progress of high resolution, high frequency driving, and the like of liquid crystal TVs, there has been an increasing demand for liquid crystal compositions that are suitable for high-performance liquid crystal devices and can satisfy various characteristics. However, there is still room for improvement in the liquid crystal compositions described in patent documents 1 to 4 below.
Further, there is a problem that a liquid crystal composition containing a polymerizable compound, which has been conventionally used to contain a polymerizable compound in a liquid crystal composition, does not have characteristics capable of coping with a high-resolution liquid crystal TV such as 4K or 8K. In particular, a high-resolution liquid crystal display element requires high-definition pixels, and thus the size of each pixel is small. Therefore, since the area of the wiring and the light shielding portion is relatively increased, Ultraviolet (UV) light is largely cut off, and the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display portion is reduced, thereby lowering the transmittance.
In particular, in the case of a vertical alignment liquid crystal display element (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "VA liquid crystal display element"), it is difficult to sufficiently improve light transmittance only by adjusting the threshold voltage. By shifting (shift) the V-T curve showing the characteristics of applied voltage-transmittance to the low voltage side by lowering the threshold voltage, the transmittance under the low voltage condition can be improved. However, in the above method, the slope of the V-T curve of the VA liquid crystal display element does not become steep and the maximum transmittance does not become high, so that it is difficult to realize high light transmittance at a low driving voltage.
Therefore, with respect to the liquid crystal composition constituting the liquid crystal layer, adjustment is consideredSplay elastic constant (K)11) And bending elastic constant (K)33) Is K11/K33The method of (2). According to the method, the V-T curve of the VA liquid crystal display element becomes steep, and the light transmittance can be improved even at a low driving voltage.
Further, in liquid crystal TVs of higher models and the like, high-frequency driving is progressing, and therefore development of a liquid crystal composition capable of responding to voltage change at high speed is urgently required. In order to respond to a voltage change at high speed, γ, which is a parameter that governs the response speed, is desirable1/K33Is small, so that it is considered to increase the elastic constant K33。γ1Is a parameter indicating rotational viscosity.
From the above, when a liquid crystal composition is used for these liquid crystal display elements, it is desirable that the elastic constant K is high in order to exhibit high transmittance and high-speed response11Small and elastic constant K33Is large.

[ problems to be solved by the invention ]
However, in the liquid crystal composition, due to the elastic constant K11And elastic constant K33Are highly correlated parameters, and therefore it is difficult to reduce the elastic constant K11While increasing the elastic constant K33. Therefore, to reduce γ1/K33In view of reducing the rotational viscosity γ1Rather than increasing the elastic constant K33

When the liquid crystal composition of the present invention contains a polymerizable compound, a method for polymerizing the polymerizable compound is not particularly limited. Among them, in order to obtain good alignment performance of the liquid crystal, it is desirable to carry out polymerization at an appropriate polymerization rate, and therefore, a method of carrying out polymerization by irradiating active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays or electron beams singly or collectively or sequentially is preferable. When ultraviolet light is used, either a polarized light source or an unpolarized light source may be used. In addition, when the polymerization is performed in a state where the liquid crystal composition is sandwiched between two substrates, at least the substrate on the irradiation surface side must be provided with appropriate transparency to the active energy ray. In addition, the following method may also be used: in the case of light irradiation, only a specific portion is polymerized using a mask, and then the orientation state of the unpolymerized portion is changed by changing the conditions such as an electric field, a magnetic field, or temperature, and further, the polymerization is performed by irradiation with an active energy ray. In particular, when ultraviolet exposure is performed, it is preferable to perform ultraviolet exposure while applying a direct current electric field or an alternating current electric field to the liquid crystal composition. The applied ac electric field is preferably an ac electric field having a frequency of 1Hz to 10kHz, more preferably a frequency of 60Hz to 10kHz, and the voltage is selected depending on the desired pretilt angle of the liquid crystal display element. That is, the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal display element can be controlled according to the applied voltage. In the PSA or PSVA liquid crystal display device, the pretilt angle is preferably controlled to 80 degrees to 89.9 degrees from the viewpoint of alignment stability and contrast.
In the PSA-type or PSVA-type liquid crystal display device, if the polymerizable compound remains without being polymerized after the device IS manufactured, Image Sticking (IS) occurs. The amount of the residual polymerizable compound is preferably 20ppm or less, more preferably 15ppm or less, particularly preferably 10ppm or less, and particularly preferably 0 or less as the lower limit of detection.
The temperature at the time of irradiation with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays or electron beams used for polymerizing the polymerizable compound contained in the liquid crystal composition of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, when the liquid crystal composition of the present invention is applied to a liquid crystal display element including a substrate having an alignment film, it is preferable that the liquid crystal composition is maintained in a temperature range in which a liquid crystal state of the liquid crystal composition is maintained. That is, the polymerization is preferably carried out at 15 to 50 ℃.
