Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電気光学的液晶表示材料として有用なネマチック液晶組成物及びこれを用いた液晶表示素子に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
液晶表示装置(LCD)は、電卓のディスプレイとして登場して以来、コンピューターの開発と歩みを同じくして、TN-LCD(捻れネマチック液晶表示装置)から、STN-LCDへと表示容量の拡大に対応してきた。STN-LCDは、シェファー(Scheffer)等[SID '85 Digest, 120頁(1985年)]、あるいは衣川等[SID '86 Digest, 122頁(1986年)]によって開発され、ワードプロセッサ、パーソナルコンピュータなどの高情報処理用の表示に広く普及しはじめている。最近、STN-LCDでの応答特性を改善する目的でアクティブアドレッシング駆動方式が提案されている。(Proc.12th International Display Research Conference p.503 1992年)また、携帯用端末表示(Personal Digital Assistance)ではより広い温度域で良好な表示特性が要求されている。この様な液晶材料として粘性が低く、駆動電圧が低くなおかつ広い温度範囲に対して一定値を保持することや、あるいは種々の時分割に対応した周波数範囲で駆動電圧が変動しないことが要求されている。しかし、表示素子に組み込んだときの応答速度やコントラストなどはまだ十分とは言えず、現在も新しい液晶化合物あるいは液晶組成物の提案がなされている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述のようにTN-LCDやSTN-LCDの重要な特性改善課題の一つにコントラストの向上がある。LCDの急速な用途拡大に伴い、室内で使用されるだけでなく、コンピューターの携帯端末ディスプレイ、車載用計器、屋外使用計測機のディスプレイのように、温度条件の過酷な屋外で使用されることが増加してきた。LCDが置かれる環境の温度変化による表示コントラストの低下が問題になってきている。この周囲の温度変化によるLCD表示品位の低下の原因は、閾値電圧Vthの温度依存性に起因するところが大きい。
【0004】
閾値電圧Vthの温度変化の原因としては、ネマティック液晶の弾性定数・誘電率などの温度変化と添加したカイラル物質の固有ピッチの温度変化が考えられる。カイラル物質の固有ピッチの温度変化を制御することにより、閾値電圧の温度依存性を改善する提案は既に行われている(特開昭55-38869号公報に記載)。しかし、母体液晶とカイラル物質の組み合わせにより、その効果が変化する事や、カイラル量を増やすことにより、レスポンス等の表示特性に悪影響を及ぼすことが問題になっていた。また、液晶中に含まれるイオン性物質の易動度の温度変化により電流値が増加するため、液晶にかかる実効値電圧がイオンにより消費され、コントラストが低下する現象が起こっているため、電流値の抑制がコントラストの改善には重要な因子となる。
【0005】
本発明が解決しようとする課題は、コントラストやレスポンスを低下させることなく、駆動電圧の温度依存性を改善し、同時に電流値を抑制した組成物を提供すること、また、この液晶組成物を使用した液晶表示素子を提供することにある。
【0006】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a nematic liquid crystal composition useful as an electro-optical liquid crystal display material and a liquid crystal display element using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The liquid crystal display (LCD) has been used as a calculator display, and it has been the same as the development of computers, supporting the expansion of display capacity from TN-LCD (twisted nematic liquid crystal display) to STN-LCD. I have done it. STN-LCD was developed by Scheffer et al. [SID '85 Digest, p. 120 (1985)] or Kinukawa et al. [SID '86 Digest, p. 122 (1986)]. Widely used in displays for high information processing. Recently, an active addressing drive system has been proposed for the purpose of improving the response characteristics of STN-LCD. (Proc. 12th International Display Research Conference p.503 1992) In addition, in portable terminal display (Personal Digital Assistance), good display characteristics are required in a wider temperature range. As such a liquid crystal material, it is required that the viscosity is low, the driving voltage is low and a constant value is maintained over a wide temperature range, or that the driving voltage does not fluctuate in a frequency range corresponding to various time divisions. Yes. However, the response speed and contrast when incorporated in a display element are still not sufficient, and new liquid crystal compounds or liquid crystal compositions have been proposed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, one of the important characteristics improvement issues of TN-LCD and STN-LCD is the improvement of contrast. With the rapid expansion of LCD applications, it is not only used indoors but also used outdoors with severe temperature conditions, such as computer mobile terminal displays, in-vehicle instruments, and displays used outdoors. It has increased. A decrease in display contrast due to temperature changes in the environment where the LCD is placed has become a problem. The cause of the deterioration of the LCD display quality due to the ambient temperature change is largely due to the temperature dependence of the threshold voltage Vth.
[0004]
As a cause of the temperature change of the threshold voltage Vth, a temperature change such as an elastic constant and a dielectric constant of the nematic liquid crystal and a temperature change of the inherent pitch of the added chiral substance can be considered. Proposals have already been made to improve the temperature dependence of the threshold voltage by controlling the temperature change of the natural pitch of the chiral substance (described in JP-A-55-38869). However, there are problems that the effect changes depending on the combination of the base liquid crystal and the chiral substance, and that the display characteristics such as response are adversely affected by increasing the chiral amount. In addition, since the current value increases due to temperature changes in the mobility of ionic substances contained in the liquid crystal, the phenomenon that the effective voltage applied to the liquid crystal is consumed by ions and the contrast is reduced occurs. Suppression is an important factor for improving contrast.
[0005]
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a composition that improves the temperature dependence of the driving voltage without reducing the contrast and response and at the same time suppresses the current value, and also uses this liquid crystal composition. An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display element.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has found the following liquid crystal compositions as a result of studying liquid crystal compositions using various liquid crystal compounds in order to solve the above problems.
