The liquid crystal materials used in these liquid crystal display cells are required to have various properties, and in particular, liquid crystal display cells used outdoors are required to have high-speed response at low temperatures. The response time (τ) has a proportional relationship (τ∝η) with the viscosity (η) of the liquid crystal material, so if a liquid crystal material with low viscosity is used at low temperatures, it is possible to create a liquid crystal display cell with high speed response at low temperatures. be able to. Particularly good viscosity reducing agents currently used for this purpose include the formula
