Description

Temperature self-adaptive liquid crystal composition and liquid crystal dimming device applying same
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of building home life, in particular to a temperature self-adaptive liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal dimming device using the same.
Background
According to statistics, because the current building material industry uses common glass or low-radiation coated glass, more than 50% of indoor power consumption in the household environment and the commercial office environment is used for temperature regulation, namely air-conditioning refrigeration is needed in summer, and heating or air-conditioning heating is needed in winter. The cleanest solar energy is the main cause of increasing the indoor temperature in summer, and the utilization rate of the cleanest solar energy is very low in winter due to the installation of the low-radiation coated glass. Therefore, a light modulation device for realizing environment self-adaptive control is needed to be used in the building material industry, the light modulation device can realize the selective reflection in the visible light region and the near infrared region with the wavelength of 700 nm-1500nm, ideally, the selective reflection wavelength can be automatically adjusted to the range of 800nm-1100nm at the temperature of 30 ℃, the reflectivity is more than or equal to 50 percent, the selective reflection wavelength lambda is reduced along with the increase of the temperature, the wave below 800nm is reflected, and the heat insulation effect is achieved; in winter, the selective reflection wavelength lambda is increased along with the reduction of the temperature, and the wave of 800nm-1500nm is transmitted, so that the effect of transferring heat is achieved.
We define: the selective reflection wavelength increases as a positive wavelength shift with increasing temperature; the selective reflection wavelength decreases to a negative wavelength shift with increasing temperature. To achieve the above object, high reflection can be achieved by multiple interfaces, but it is also required that the selective reflection wavelength of the liquid crystal dimming device exhibits a negative wavelength shift and has a large wavelength shift amount. The cholesteric liquid crystal is used as a liquid crystal commonly used by a bistable light modulation device, and the central reflection wavelength in a planar state meets the Bragg reflection law: λ ═ nP, n is the average refractive index, and P is the pitch of the helix, so the selective reflection wavelength can be tuned by tuning P. It is also known that P ═ 1/(c × HTP), where c is the concentration of the chiral dopant material and the HTP value is the helical twist constant of the chiral dopant material, which is temperature sensitive. When the chiral doping material is used for adjusting the helical pitch, the conventional chiral dopants such as CB15, S811, S5011, R811, R5011 and the like which show small wavelength shift along with temperature change cannot realize temperature adaptive adjustment.
In order to eliminate or control the temperature sensitivity of the selective reflection wavelength, researchers have developed several chiral dopants capable of exhibiting a negative wavelength shift, but liquid crystal compositions of these chiral dopants all exhibit a small wavelength shift, and a small amount of addition thereof can be easily crystallized.
Therefore, a bistable light modulation device with large negative wavelength offset with temperature rise is needed to achieve the temperature adaptive goal.

In a transmission state, cholesteric liquid crystal molecules are basically parallel to the surface of the light modulation device, and a spiral shaft of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules is vertical to the surface of the light modulation device, so that a planar texture of cholesteric liquid crystal is formed, and in the state, incident light basically keeps the original incident angle to pass through the light modulation device without being influenced; in the foggy state, the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules form a focal conic texture, and incident light is basically scattered to form a state with high haze. Due to the special elastic coefficient of the bimesogenic compound, the bimesogenic compound can be used as an elastic constant modulator, so that the relaxation time of the bistable liquid crystal from a vertical state to a planar state is shortened, the uniformity of the planar arrangement of liquid crystal molecules can be improved, and the texture defect is reduced, thereby reducing the haze of the bistable light modulator in a transmission state and simultaneously improving the haze of a fog state. In addition, the bimesogenic compound as an elastic constant regulator has a certain influence on the helical twisting ability of cholesteric liquid crystal, and can realize the regulation of wavelength offset through the influence on the helical twisting ability.
