Description

Liquid crystal composition and liquid crystal display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of liquid crystal materials, in particular to a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal display device containing the liquid crystal composition.
Background
The liquid crystal material is a mixture of organic rod-like small molecular compounds having both fluidity of liquid and anisotropy of crystal at a certain temperature. Liquid crystal display devices operate using the optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy possessed by the liquid crystal material itself, and have been widely used at present. The liquid crystal display device is classified into: PC (PHASE CHANGE ), TN (TWIST NEMATIC, twisted nematic), STN (super TWISTED NEMATIC ), DS (DYNAMIC SCATTERING, dynamic scattering), FLC (ferroelectric liquid crystal, FLC), GH (guest-host ), ECB (ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED BIREFRINGENCE, electrically controlled birefringence), OCB (optically compensated bend ), IPS (in-PLANE SWITCHING, in-plane transition), VA (VERTICAL ALIGNMENT, homeotropic alignment), FFS (FRINGE FIELD SWITCHING ), FPA (field-induced photo-REACTIVE ALIGNMENT, electric field induced photo-reactive alignment), and the like.
Liquid crystal displays (Liquid CRYSTAL DISPLAY, LCD) have been rapidly developed due to their small size, light weight, low power consumption and excellent display quality, and have been widely used in particular in portable electronic information products. With the increase in the size of liquid crystal screens used in portable computers, office applications, video applications, in order to enable the liquid crystal display to be used for large-screen display and eventually replace Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs), there are still some problems to be solved, such as improvement of viewing angle characteristics, improvement of response speed, increase of contrast ratio, improvement of transmittance, and the like. The narrower viewing angle of the LCD means that the contrast ratio is significantly reduced when viewed away from the direction perpendicular to the normal of the liquid crystal cell, and gray scale and color inversion occur when the viewing angle is large, which seriously affects the display quality of the LCD.
The viewing angle problem of the LCD is determined by the operating principle of the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal molecules themselves are rod-shaped, and different molecular arrangements correspond to different optical anisotropies. The smaller the angle between the incident light and the liquid crystal molecules is, the smaller the birefringence is; conversely, the greater the birefringence. The angles between the light rays entering the liquid crystal box from different angles and the directors of the liquid crystal molecules are different from the normal direction of the display screen, so that the effective optical path difference delta nd is different under different visual angles. However, the optimum optical path difference of the liquid crystal cell is designed according to the normal direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal cell, and for obliquely incident light rays, the minimum transmittance increases with increasing included angle, the contrast ratio decreases, and when the included angle is sufficiently large, even contrast ratio reversal occurs.
Currently, a variety of approaches to solve the viewing angle problem have been proposed, such as: optically compensating bend (opticallycompensated bend, OCB) mode, in-plane switching (in-PLANE SWITCHING, IPS) mode, fringe field switching (FRINGE FIELD SWITCHING, FFS) mode, and multi-domain homeotropic alignment (multi-VERTICAL ALIGNMENT, MVA) mode, among others. They all have respective advantages and disadvantages: the MVA mode has the characteristics of high contrast and quick response, but it requires one biaxial compensation film and two elliptical polarizers, and thus is costly; in the OCB mode, it is difficult to maintain stable control by using ac voltage, the transmittance of R, G, B monochromatic lights is different, in addition, in the case of no field, the molecules in the liquid crystal cell are arranged in a direction parallel to the substrate, in order to implement bending arrangement, a few seconds of voltage needs to be applied to the cell for presetting, and then the arrangement mode can be maintained under a lower voltage, which is inconvenient to use; the IPS mode requires only a linear polarizer and no compensation film, but its response speed is too slow to display a fast moving picture. Since the IPS mode and FFS mode are simple to manufacture and have a wide viewing angle, they are the most attractive methods capable of improving viewing angle characteristics and realizing a large-area display.
In the beginning of the last 70 th century, experimental studies have been made on the fundamental electro-optic characteristics of the uniformly aligned and twisted nematic liquid crystal IPS mode, which is characterized in that a pair of electrodes are formed on the same substrate and the other substrate has no electrode, and the alignment of liquid crystal molecules is controlled by a transverse electric field applied between the electrodes of the pair, so that this mode can also be called a transverse field mode. In the IPS mode, nematic liquid crystal molecules are uniformly aligned in parallel between two substrates, and two polarizers are placed orthogonally. In the IPS mode, when no electric field is applied, incident light is blocked by two orthogonal polarizers and is in a dark state, and when an electric field is applied, liquid crystal molecules are rotated to cause retardation, so that light leaks from the two orthogonal polarizers. The panel adopting the IPS mode has the advantages of large visible angle and accurate color reproduction, but has the disadvantages of serious light leakage and slower response speed.
With the wide application of TFT-type LCDs, there is a continuous increase in the performance requirements, and high display image quality requires faster response speed, lower power consumption, and higher low-temperature reliability, and in addition, higher contrast and transmittance, particularly for IPS-type liquid crystal display modes. This means that liquid crystal materials are required to have higher contrast and transmittance, higher elastic constant, higher dielectric constant and low temperature reliability, and improvements in these properties are required for liquid crystal materials.
Based on the conventional IPS-LCD light leakage test, the skilled person in the art finds that the main factors causing the light leakage problem of the liquid crystal display device are: light scattering (LC SCATTERING), and LC SCATTERING has the following relation to the average elastic constant K ave:
LC SCATTERING. Alpha. Delta.n 2(ne+no)2/Kave, where d represents the pitch of the liquid crystal cell, n e represents the extraordinary refractive index, n o represents the ordinary refractive index, and K ave represents the average elastic constant.
From this relation, LC SCATTERING is inversely proportional to K ave, and when K ave is increased, light leakage of the liquid crystal material can be reduced.
Further, the relation between Contrast (CR) and brightness (L) is as follows:
Cr=l 255/L0 ×100%, where L 255 is on-state luminance and L 0 is off-state luminance.
Wherein L 255 is on-state luminance and L 0 is off-state luminance. It can be seen that what significantly affects CR should be a change in L 0. In the off state, L 0 is independent of the dielectric properties of the liquid crystal molecules, and is related to the light scattering of the liquid crystal material itself, and the smaller the light scattering, the smaller the L 0, and the contrast is significantly improved.
In addition, the response speed is another important parameter for the liquid crystal display device, and the relationship between the response time (τ) and the rotational viscosity (γ 1) is as follows:
τ off∝γ1d22 K, wherein γ 1 is the rotational viscosity of the liquid crystal, d is the thickness of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal display device, and K is the elastic constant related to the liquid crystal.
From this relational expression, it is clear that τ is inversely proportional to γ 1, and a liquid crystal composition having a small rotational viscosity can improve the response speed of a liquid crystal display element, and when the response speed of the liquid crystal display element is high, it can be applied to moving image display.
In view of the above, the contrast ratio of the liquid crystal material is improved, and the order of liquid crystal molecules is better and light leakage is less by improving the value of the average elastic constant K ave of the liquid crystal composition; the liquid crystal composition having a small rotational viscosity can improve the response speed of the liquid crystal display element.
In addition, in order to secure high display image quality of the liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal composition is also required to have a high contrast ratio, a short response time, a large K ave value, and a low rotational viscosity while maintaining a suitable absolute value of dielectric anisotropy, low-temperature reliability, clearing point, optical anisotropy.
