Abstract

NEW MATERIAL:An aromatic carboxylic acid ester compound expressed by formula I (formula II is benzene ring or cyclohexyl ring and benzene ring adjacent to the above-mentioned ring has trans configuration; R is H or 1-12C alkyl). EXAMPLE:A 4-(4'-propylcyclohexyl)benzoic acid-4''-isopropylphenyl ester. USE:An electrooptical display material capable of enlarging anisotropy of refractive index of a liquid material by blending the aimed compound with a TN type liquid material. PREPARATION:4-Alkylbiphenylcarboxylic acid or 4-alkylcyclohexyl benzoic acid is subjected to condensation reaction with 4'-isopropylphenol in a solvent such as methylene chloride in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to readily provide the compound expressed by formula I.

Currently, TN-type liquid crystal cells are being developed from green or blue modes to black and white and color, and at the same time, studies are underway to improve response times to support moving images. As for high-speed response, ferroelectric liquid crystals have been studied so far, but high-speed response is expected by making the layer thickness of the TN type liquid crystal cell thinner. In that case, a liquid crystal material with a large refractive index anisotropy (Δn) is required to fill the cell.
