[Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a trisazo compound useful as a liquid crystal dye used in a guest-host type liquid crystal display device. [Prior art and problems] In general, guest-host type liquid crystal display devices should ideally be able to display images with good contrast, have good responsiveness to display driving, and display colors that do not fade over a long period of time. It is said that there is. On the other hand, the display contrast of a guest-host type liquid crystal display device is mainly influenced by the dichroic ratio of the dichroic dye mixed into the liquid crystal. Since the color becomes lighter, sufficient display contrast cannot be obtained even if the dichroic ratio of the dye is high. For this,
If the coloring ability of the dye is low, it is necessary to increase the amount of dye added to the liquid crystal to make the displayed color darker, but if the amount of dye added is increased, the dye may affect the operation of the liquid crystal. As a result, responsiveness to display driving deteriorates. In addition, in guest-host type liquid crystal display devices, if the compatibility of the dichroic dye with the liquid crystal is not sufficient, the dye in the liquid crystal may precipitate (this dye precipitation is noticeable at low temperatures). This may cause color unevenness in the display section, resulting in deterioration of display quality. Therefore, in order to obtain the ideal guest-host type liquid crystal display device as described above, the dichroic dye mixed into the liquid crystal must: 1. have a high dichroic ratio; 2. It has high coloring ability, and a display color of sufficient density can be obtained with a small amount of addition. 3. Must have sufficient compatibility with liquid crystals and not cause precipitation even at low temperatures. It is necessary to use a dye that satisfies all three conditions.However, although the conventionally used benzene-based azo dyes, stilbene-based dyes, anthraquinone-based dyes, etc. all satisfy all of the above three conditions, It was something I didn't have. This invention was made in view of these circumstances, and its purpose is to have a high dichroism ratio and high coloring ability, and to
The object of the present invention is to provide a novel trisazo compound that is useful as a dichroic dye for liquid crystals and has excellent compatibility with liquid crystals. [Means for solving the problem] That is, the trisazo compound of the present invention is
It is represented by the following general formula (1). In the above formula, R 1 is H, -C o H 2o+1 or -
