Description

Liquid crystal compound with high birefringence, synthesis method, liquid crystal composition and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid crystal materials, and particularly relates to a liquid crystal compound with a wide liquid crystal phase temperature range, a high birefringence and a low viscosity, a synthesis method thereof, a composition containing the liquid crystal compound and related applications.
Background
Liquid crystal materials are widely used in electro-optical display devices, such as various liquid crystal televisions, desktop liquid crystal displays, mobile display terminals, and the like.
Applications other than display of liquid crystals are also important. By utilizing the birefringence characteristics of the liquid crystal, an optical phase modulation device based on the liquid crystal can be manufactured. The method is favorable for dielectric constant difference of liquid crystal at high frequency, and microwave and terahertz phase shifters, metamaterial holographic phased array antennas and the like based on liquid crystal materials are developed. In addition, liquid crystal materials also have great application potential in the field of laser communication, for example, liquid crystal-based wavelength selective switches have been used in 5G/6G optical communication.
The development of these new components requires liquid crystal materials with high birefringence, low viscosity and wide liquid crystal temperature range. The higher the birefringence of the liquid crystal material is, the more the phase modulation amount is increased; and the thickness of the liquid crystal device is reduced, so that the response speed of the liquid crystal is improved. The lower the viscosity of the liquid crystal is, the response time is advantageously shortened, and the response speed is improved.
Thus, for new component applications, new liquid crystal materials with birefringence (589 nm) greater than 0.4, and even greater than 0.5, are needed. The liquid crystal having an isothiocyanate group (NCS) at the molecular end has a large birefringence due to a large conjugated group. The literature (xiannyu, h., gauza, s.et al, high birefringence and large negative dielectric anisotropy phenyl-tolane liquid Crystals,2007,34 (12): 1473-1478) reports NCS liquid Crystals comprising a phenyldiphenylacetylene backbone, which have a high rotational viscosity, although their birefringence is close to 0.5.
Literature (Catanecu, C.O., S. -T.Wu, et al, tailored the physical properties of some high birefringence isothiocyanato-based liquid Crystals,2004,31 (4): 541-555) reports that NCS liquid crystal compounds containing olefinic end groups conjugated to benzene rings have higher birefringence, but a nematic liquid crystal phase temperature region is relatively narrow; and when the liquid crystal structure is applied to a microwave frequency band, the dielectric loss of the liquid crystal structure is found to be larger, and the liquid crystal structure needs to be further improved.
