Description

本発明は電気光学的液晶表示材料として有用な誘電率異方性(Δε)が正の値を示すネマチック液晶組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a nematic liquid crystal composition having a positive dielectric anisotropy (Δε) useful as an electro-optical liquid crystal display material.

液晶表示素子は、時計、電卓をはじめとして、各種測定機器、自動車用パネル、ワードプロセッサー、電子手帳、プリンター、コンピューター、テレビ、時計、広告表示板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(ツイステッド・ネマチック)型、STN(スーパー・ツイステッド・ネマチック)型、TFT(薄膜トランジスタ)を用いた垂直配向型やIPS(イン・プレーン・スイッチング)型等がある。これらの液晶表示素子に用いられる液晶組成物は水分、空気、熱、光などの外的要因に対して安定であること、また、室温を中心としてできるだけ広い温度範囲で液晶相を示し、低粘性であり、かつ駆動電圧が低いことが求められる。さらに液晶組成物は個々の表示素子に対してあわせ最適な誘電率異方性(Δε)または及び屈折率異方性(Δn)等を最適な値とするために、数種類から数十種類の化合物から構成されている。   Liquid crystal display elements are used in various measuring instruments, automobile panels, word processors, electronic notebooks, printers, computers, televisions, watches, advertisement display boards, as well as watches and calculators. Typical liquid crystal display methods include TN (twisted nematic) type, STN (super twisted nematic) type, vertical alignment type using TFT (thin film transistor), and IPS (in-plane switching) type. Etc. The liquid crystal composition used in these liquid crystal display elements is stable against external factors such as moisture, air, heat, light, etc., and exhibits a liquid crystal phase in the widest possible temperature range centering on room temperature, and has low viscosity. And a low driving voltage is required. Furthermore, the liquid crystal composition has several to several tens of kinds of compounds in order to optimize the dielectric anisotropy (Δε) and the refractive index anisotropy (Δn) for each display element. It is composed of

垂直配向型ディスプレイではΔεが負の液晶組成物が用いられており、TN型、STN型又はIPS型等の水平配向型ディスプレイではΔεが正の液晶組成物が用いられている。また、Δεが正の液晶組成物を電圧無印加時に垂直に配向させ、横電界を印加する事で表示する駆動方式も報告されており、Δεが正の液晶組成物の必要性はさらに高まっている。一方、全ての駆動方式において低電圧駆動、高速応答、広い動作温度範囲が求められている。すなわち、Δεが正で絶対値が大きく、粘度(η)が小さく、高いネマチック相−等方性液体相転移温度(Tni)が要求されている。また、Δnとセルギャップ(d)との積であるΔn×dの設定から、液晶組成物のΔnをセルギャップに合わせて適当な範囲に調節する必要がある。加えて液晶表示素子をテレビ等へ応用する場合においては高速応答性が重視されるため、γの小さい液晶組成物が要求される。 A liquid crystal composition having a negative Δε is used for a vertical alignment type display, and a liquid crystal composition having a positive Δε is used for a horizontal alignment type display such as a TN type, STN type, or IPS type. In addition, a driving method has been reported in which a liquid crystal composition having a positive Δε is vertically aligned when no voltage is applied and a horizontal electric field is applied to display the liquid crystal composition, and the necessity of a liquid crystal composition having a positive Δε is further increased. Yes. On the other hand, low voltage driving, high-speed response, and a wide operating temperature range are required in all driving systems. That is, Δε is positive, the absolute value is large, the viscosity (η) is small, and a high nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature (T ni ) is required. Further, from the setting of Δn × d, which is the product of Δn and the cell gap (d), it is necessary to adjust Δn of the liquid crystal composition to an appropriate range according to the cell gap. In addition, when applying a liquid crystal display element to a television or the like, since high-speed response is important, a liquid crystal composition having a small γ 1 is required.

液晶組成物の構成成分として、Δεが正の液晶化合物である式(A−1)や(A−2)で表される化合物を使用した液晶組成物の開示があるが(特許文献1から4)、これら液晶組成物は十分に低い粘性を実現するに至っていない。   There is a disclosure of a liquid crystal composition using a compound represented by the formula (A-1) or (A-2) which is a liquid crystal compound having a positive Δε as a constituent component of the liquid crystal composition (Patent Documents 1 to 4). These liquid crystal compositions have not yet achieved a sufficiently low viscosity.

本発明が解決しようとする課題は、屈折率異方性(Δn)およびネマチック相−等方性液体相転移温度(Tni)を低減又は上昇させることなく、粘度(η)が十分に低く、なおかつ、誘電率異方性(Δε)が正の液晶組成物を提供することにある。 The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the viscosity (η) is sufficiently low without reducing or increasing the refractive index anisotropy (Δn) and the nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature (T ni ), In addition, another object is to provide a liquid crystal composition having a positive dielectric anisotropy (Δε).

本発明者は、種々のフルオロベンゼン誘導体を検討し、特定の化合物を組み合わせることにより前記課題を解決することができることを見出し、本件発明を完成するに至った。   The present inventor has studied various fluorobenzene derivatives and found that the above problem can be solved by combining specific compounds, and has completed the present invention.
