Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of liquid crystal, in particular to a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal display device comprising the same.
Background
Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) have been rapidly developed due to their small size, light weight, low power consumption and excellent Display quality, and are widely used particularly in portable electronic information products. Liquid crystal displays can be classified into types of PC (phase change), TN (twisted nematic), STN (super twisted nematic), ECB (electrically controlled birefringence), OCB (optically compensated bend), IPS (in-plane switching), FFS (fringe field switching), VA (vertical alignment), and PSA (polymer stable alignment), etc., according to the type of display mode.
The PSA type liquid crystal display mode is a mode in which a small amount (more typically < 1wt%, such as 0.3 wt%) of one or more polymerizable compounds is added to a liquid crystal composition, and it can be ensured that liquid crystal molecules are polymerized or crosslinked in situ (typically by UV photopolymerization) in a state having an initial orientation with or without applying a voltage between electrodes after the liquid crystal composition is filled into a liquid crystal cell, thereby fixing the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules. With the continuous development of the PSA type liquid crystal display element, it is applied to various conventional liquid crystal display devices such as known PSA-VA, PSA-OCB, PSA-IPS, PSA-FFS and PSA-TN type liquid crystal displays. In a PSA type liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal composition containing the polymerizable compound is located between two substrates, wherein each substrate is provided with an electrode structure, or both electrode structures are placed on only one of the substrates. In addition, either or both of the substrates may contain an alignment layer disposed on the substrate or electrode structure (if present) to induce initial alignment of the liquid crystal composition. As with conventional liquid crystal displays, PSA type liquid crystal displays can operate as either active matrix displays or passive matrix displays. In the case of active matrix displays the individual pixels are addressed by integrated non-linear active elements, such as transistors, whereas in the case of passive matrix displays the individual pixels are typically addressed according to a multiplexing method known in the art.
After filling the liquid crystal composition into the display device, the polymerizable compounds contained in the liquid crystal composition are typically polymerized or crosslinked in situ by UV photopolymerization by exposing the liquid crystal composition to UV radiation, and preferably while applying a voltage to the electrode structure. As a result of UV exposure, the polymerized or crosslinked polymerizable compounds phase separate from the other compounds in the liquid crystal composition and form polymer layers on the substrate surface, where they cause a pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules with respect to the substrate. For liquid crystal displays of the PSA-VA, PSA-OCB, PSA-FFS and PSA-TN type, the polymerization of the polymerizable compounds is preferably carried out with application of a voltage; for the liquid crystal display of the PSA-IPS type, voltage may be applied or not, preferably not.
Generally, in the production process of PSA type liquid crystal displays, UV photopolymerization is carried out by two steps:
in a first step (hereinafter referred to as the "UV1 step"), the liquid crystal composition is exposed to UV radiation emitted by a radiation source (hereinafter referred to as the "light source") while applying a voltage to the electrode structure to produce a pre-tilt angle. The more preferred polymerizable compound should produce a smaller pretilt angle in the same time or the same pretilt angle in a shorter UV1 irradiation time (i.e., faster angular velocity) to improve production efficiency, shorten tact time (tact time) in mass production, and reduce costs, while the faster the angular velocity of the polymerizable compound, the more favorable the polymerizable compound can be to complete polymerization, thereby reducing polymer residues. In order to increase the angular velocity, it is preferable to use UV1 radiation of a shorter wavelength, and in order to increase the Voltage Holding Ratio (VHR), it is preferable to use UV1 radiation of a longer wavelength, and thus a faster angular velocity and a higher Voltage Holding Ratio are generally difficult to be compatible;
in the second step (hereinafter referred to as the "UV2 step"), the liquid crystal composition is exposed to UV radiation without applying a voltage to the electrode structure to ensure that any residual polymerizable compound that did not polymerize during the UV1 step is thoroughly polymerized. It is desirable that the variation in the pretilt angle after the UV2 step be as small as possible to reduce the possibility of display unevenness of the PSA type liquid crystal display due to UV process unevenness (unevenness of external conditions such as light, heat, stress, etc.). At the same time, the UV radiation intensity in the UV2 step should be reduced to avoid or reduce negative effects (such as reduced reliability or image sticking).
If the polymer particles are too large and the sizes of the polymer particles are not uniform in the UV1 and UV2 processes, the polymer can be distributed unevenly, so that the problem of 'broken bright spots' of the PSA type liquid crystal display is caused. After UV1 and UV2 processing, the remaining unreacted polymerizable compounds may polymerize in an uncontrolled manner after the display is fabricated and the quality of the image display, for example, residual polymerizable compounds may polymerize under the influence of UV light from the environment or backlight illumination, the pretilt angle may change and the transmittance may change after multiple addressing periods in the on display area, while the pretilt angle and the transmittance may remain unchanged in the off display area, thereby creating an "image sticking" effect.
However, in the prior art, it was found that not all liquid crystal compositions could be perfectly matched with the polymerizable compounds, and after UV1 and UV2 treatment, there were problems that the residual polymerizable compounds could not be completely polymerized or the pretilt angle was slow. Meanwhile, the poor intersolubility of the liquid crystal composition and the polymerizable compound can lead to poor rigidity of a polymer network formed after the polymerizable compound is polymerized, so that when the PSA type liquid crystal display element continuously displays the same pattern for a long time, the structure of the polymer network is changed, the pre-tilt angle of liquid crystal molecules is changed, and the situation of poor display is caused.
However, with the development of technology, the LCD display quality requirement in the LCD display industry is more strict, and especially in the TV industry, the TV size generally increases, the LCD generation line also increases, and the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the large-size LCD panel also increases significantly. Therefore, how to ensure the display quality is an urgent problem to be solved. In addition to the continuous optimization of the panel manufacturing process, the continuous development of liquid crystal materials is also one of the solutions, and especially for the PSA type liquid crystal display, the selection of liquid crystal compositions to be used in combination with polymerizable compounds is a research focus.
Currently, problems common in the production of PSA type liquid crystal displays include the residue or removal of polymerizable compounds and the stability of the pretilt angle. In PSA type liquid crystal displays, after polymerizing the polymerizable compounds by applying UV1 radiation and UV2 radiation to produce the pretilt angle, a small amount of unreacted polymerizable compounds may polymerize in an uncontrolled manner after the display is made, affecting the quality of the display, e.g. the residual polymerizable compounds may polymerize under the influence of UV light from the environment or backlight illumination, the pretilt angle may change over a number of addressing cycles in the switched-on display area, the transmittance may change as well, and the pretilt angle and transmittance may remain unchanged in the switched-off display area, resulting in an "image sticking" effect. Therefore, it is desirable that the polymerizable compound is polymerized as completely as possible during the production of the PSA type liquid crystal display, and the residual polymerizable compound can react in a controlled manner, and the faster the polymerization speed, the more advantageous it is to achieve the desire. Furthermore, it is also desirable that the change in the pre-tilt angle is small after a number of addressing periods have elapsed.
Therefore, it is desired to develop a liquid crystal composition that can satisfy the above requirements at the same time or at least one of the above requirements.

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 have appropriate transparency to the active energy ray. In addition, polymerization may be performed by irradiating only a specific portion with active energy rays while polymerizing the portion using a mask during light irradiation, and then changing the orientation state of the unpolymerized portion by changing the conditions such as an electric field, a magnetic field, or temperature.

As used herein, the terms "tilt" and "tilt angle" will be understood as the tilt alignment of liquid crystal molecules with respect to the surface of a liquid crystal cell in a liquid crystal display device (in the present invention, a PSA type liquid crystal display device is preferred). The tilt angle means an average angle (< 90 °) formed between the longitudinal molecular axis of the liquid crystal molecules (liquid crystal director) and the surface of the outer plate of the liquid crystal cell. A low value of the tilt angle (i.e. a large angle deviating from 90 °) corresponds to a large tilt.
