Description
本発明は、高周波線路を構成する導体線路とグランド導体との間に液晶層を配置してなる可変機能デバイスに用いる液晶組成物及びこれを用いた可変機能デバイスに関する。 The present invention relates to a liquid crystal composition used for a variable function device in which a liquid crystal layer is disposed between a conductor line constituting a high frequency line and a ground conductor, and a variable function device using the same.
多種多様な機能のシステムをひとつのハードウェアで切り替えて利用したり、ソフトウェアによりプログラム的に切り替えて利用するためには、高周波アナログステージで周波数帯や帯域幅などを電子的に可変できるデバイスが必要である。このため、例えば、電子同調フィルタ、電圧制御発振器、可変特性増幅器、移相器・減衰器などの可変回路やデバイスなど性能・機能を可変制御できるものの開発が進められている。 In order to use a system with various functions by switching it with a single piece of hardware or using software to switch it programmatically, a device that can electronically change the frequency band, bandwidth, etc., at a high-frequency analog stage is required. It is. For this reason, for example, development of devices capable of variably controlling performance and functions such as variable circuits and devices such as electronic tuning filters, voltage controlled oscillators, variable characteristic amplifiers, phase shifters / attenuators, and the like has been underway.
可変機能デバイスとして液晶媒質を利用した高周波デバイスとして、駆動電圧が無印加時と印加時により液晶層の誘電率を変化させることによって、マイクロストリップ線路を伝搬する電磁波の移相を可変させたり、遅延させることが可能なマイクロ波帯可変移相器が開示されている(非特許文献1参照)。又、液晶媒質を利用した可変機能デバイスの液晶層として、高分子分散型液晶(特許文献1参照)、二周波駆動液晶(特許文献2参照)を用いた技術が報告されている。 As a high-frequency device using a liquid crystal medium as a variable function device, the phase shift of the electromagnetic wave propagating through the microstrip line can be varied or delayed by changing the dielectric constant of the liquid crystal layer depending on whether the drive voltage is applied or not applied. There is disclosed a microwave band variable phase shifter that can be made (see Non-Patent Document 1). In addition, a technique using a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (see Patent Document 1) and a dual frequency drive liquid crystal (see Patent Document 2) as a liquid crystal layer of a variable function device using a liquid crystal medium has been reported.
上記可変機能デバイスにおいて従来使用されてきた液晶組成物では、位相制御の範囲を大きくできなことが問題となっているが、この原因は用いられる液晶組成物のΔεが十分大きくないものによると考えられる。此処で記載するΔεとは液晶組成物において通常論じられることの多い低周波領域のΔεではなくGHz帯域でのΔεを指すが、一般にGHz帯でのΔεを測定することは特別な測定装置が必要であり、簡易に測定できるものではない。しかし、可視光域での複屈折率ΔnとGHz帯でのΔεとは比例関係となっていることが知られており、可視光域でのΔnを測定することにより間接的にGHz帯でのΔεを相対的に観測することができる。 In the liquid crystal compositions conventionally used in the variable function devices, the problem is that the phase control range cannot be increased, but this is considered to be caused by the fact that Δε of the liquid crystal composition used is not sufficiently large. It is done. Δε described here refers to Δε in the GHz band rather than Δε in the low frequency region that is often discussed in liquid crystal compositions, but generally a special measuring device is required to measure Δε in the GHz band. However, it cannot be measured easily. However, it is known that the birefringence Δn in the visible light region and Δε in the GHz band are in a proportional relationship, and indirectly in the GHz band by measuring Δn in the visible light region. Δε can be relatively observed.
これらの知見により、従来用いられてきた液晶組成物(特許文献3参照)では、可視光域でのΔnが0.3を大幅に下回るためGHz帯のΔεが小さく、可変機能デバイスにおける位相制御の範囲を十分大きくすることが困難であることが判明した。しかし、0.3を超えるΔnを有する液晶組成物の開発は問題が多く、Δnがある程度大きくなったとしてもネマチック相-等方性液体相転移温度TNIが低いというような問題点があり、可視光域でのΔnの大きい液晶組成物の開発が求められていた。 Based on these findings, in the liquid crystal composition that has been used in the past (see Patent Document 3), Δn in the visible light region is significantly lower than 0.3, so Δε in the GHz band is small, and the range of phase control in variable function devices is reduced. It turned out that it was difficult to make it large enough. However, the development of liquid crystal compositions having Δn exceeding 0.3 is problematic, and even if Δn increases to some extent, there is a problem that the nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature T NI is low, and visible light Development of a liquid crystal composition having a large Δn in the region has been demanded.
本願発明の課題は、可変機能デバイス用液晶組成物において複屈折率Δnが大きく、GHz帯における誘電率異方性Δεが大きい組成物を開発することにある。 An object of the present invention is to develop a composition having a large birefringence Δn and a large dielectric anisotropy Δε in the GHz band in a liquid crystal composition for a variable function device.
本願発明の発明者らは上記課題を解決するため鋭意検討を行った結果、特定の液晶化合物を構成部材として用いることにより、液晶組成物のΔnを増大することができることを見出し本願発明の完成に至った。 本願発明は、一般式(I) The inventors of the present invention have intensively studied to solve the above-mentioned problems. As a result, it has been found that Δn of the liquid crystal composition can be increased by using a specific liquid crystal compound as a constituent member. It came.
