However, recently, a liquid crystal compound that has a rigid group at both ends and a flexible group at the center has become twin (TWIN).
It is drawing attention as a type liquid crystal. These twin-type liquid crystals have a wide liquid crystal temperature range and are stable at high temperatures, and have a shape effect, for example, an odd effect of a flexible group (a phenomenon in which the liquid crystal range temperature greatly differs depending on whether the carbon number is an odd number or an even number). It is known to be great. As such a compound, a cyanobiphenyl group at both ends Cyanobiphenyl system in which an alkyl chain having 2 to 10 carbon atoms is compounded by oxygen bond in the central part through oxygen, so that cyanophenyl ester groups are similarly formed at both ends. A cyanophenyl ester system, also having a cyanoschiff group Cyano-schiff type or alkoxy-schiff group having Alkoxy Schiff-based liquid crystal compounds and the like are known [AC Griffin (Mriffin), Molecular, Crystals, And, Liquid, Crystals, Letter (Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals Lettars)
