Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電気光学的液晶液晶表示材料として有用な、誘電率異方性が負のネマチック液晶組成物およびそれを用いた液晶表示素子に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
液晶表示素子は、時計、電卓をはじめとしては、家庭用各種電気機器、測定機器、自動車用パネル、ワープロ、電子手帳、プリンター、コンピューター、テレビ等に用いられるようになっている。液晶表示方式としては、その代表的なものに、TN(捩れネマチック)方式やSTN(超捩れネマチック)方式、DS(動的光散乱)方式、GH(ゲスト・ホスト)方式、IPS(インプレインスイッチング)方式、OCB(光学補償複屈折)方式、ECB(電圧制御複屈折)方式、VA(垂直配向)方式、FLC(強誘電性液晶)等をあげることができる。また、駆動方式としても従来のスタティック駆動からマルチプレックス駆動が一般的になり、単純マトリックス方式、最近では、TFT(薄膜トランジスタ)やMIMにより駆動されるAM(アクティブマトリックス)方式が主流になっている。
【0003】
これらの表示方式において、IPS方式、ECB(電圧制御複屈折)方式やVA(垂直配向)方式は、現在汎用のTN方式やSTN方式と異なり、誘電率異方性が負の液晶材料を用いる特徴を有する。これらの中で、VA方式は高速で広視野角の要求される表示素子として、特にテレビ等への応用が現在も友期待されている。
【0004】
これまで、液晶材料はその方式に応じて、非常に多くの化合物が設計・合成されてきたが、VA方式に必要は誘電率異方性が負の液晶材料についてはそれほど多くの化合物が知られているわけではない。実際には2,3−ジフルオロ−1,4−フェニレン基を有する化合物(特許文献1参照)に限られているのが実情である。そのため、Δεの絶対値が十分に大きくないことから低電圧駆動等の特性に問題があった。
【0005】
一方、5員環ラクトン構造を有する液晶化合物は大きな分極率を有し、また光学活性体が合成できることから、FLC方式への応用を目指し多くの化合物が合成されてきたが、VA方式用の誘電率異方性が負の液晶材料として検討されたことはなかった(特許文献2―6参照)。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a nematic liquid crystal composition having a negative dielectric anisotropy, which is useful as an electro-optical liquid crystal liquid crystal display material, and a liquid crystal display device using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Liquid crystal display elements are used in watches, calculators, home electric appliances, measuring instruments, automobile panels, word processors, electronic notebooks, printers, computers, televisions, and the like. Typical liquid crystal display methods include a TN (twisted nematic) method, an STN (super twisted nematic) method, a DS (dynamic light scattering) method, a GH (guest / host) method, and an IPS (in-plane switching). ), OCB (optically compensated birefringence), ECB (voltage controlled birefringence), VA (vertical alignment), FLC (ferroelectric liquid crystal) and the like. As a driving method, multiplex driving has been generally used instead of conventional static driving, and a simple matrix method, and recently, an AM (active matrix) method driven by a TFT (thin film transistor) or an MIM have become mainstream.
[0003]
In these display modes, the IPS mode, ECB (voltage controlled birefringence) mode and VA (vertical alignment) mode are different from the current general-purpose TN mode and STN mode, and use a liquid crystal material having a negative dielectric anisotropy. Having. Among them, the VA method is currently expected to be applied to a television or the like as a display element requiring a high speed and a wide viewing angle.
[0004]
Until now, a very large number of compounds have been designed and synthesized according to the liquid crystal material. However, so many compounds are required for the liquid crystal material having a negative dielectric anisotropy in the VA method. It is not. Actually, it is actually limited to compounds having a 2,3-difluoro-1,4-phenylene group (see Patent Document 1). Therefore, since the absolute value of Δε is not sufficiently large, there is a problem in characteristics such as low voltage driving.
[0005]
On the other hand, a liquid crystal compound having a 5-membered lactone structure has a large polarizability and an optically active substance can be synthesized. Therefore, many compounds have been synthesized for application to the FLC method. It has never been studied as a liquid crystal material having a negative anisotropy (see Patent Documents 2-6).

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition having a negative dielectric anisotropy and a large absolute value, and further to provide a VA-mode liquid crystal display device using the same.
