The liquid crystal compositions prepared in Examples 9 to 12 and Comparative Examples 9 to 12 were pre-treated in an oven at about 150 DEG C for 4 hours in contact with oxygen. Thereafter, the preprocessed liquid crystal composition was poured into 4.0 占 퐉 TN cells prepared and dried beforehand, and the voltage retention ratio after the heat treatment was measured under the same conditions as those in which the initial voltage holding ratio was measured using the above cells.
- Calculation of changes in voltage holding ratio after heat treatment in more severe conditions
The initial voltage holding ratio (VHR 0 ) measured in the above manner and the voltage holding ratio (VHR t ) after heat treatment under more severe conditions were substituted into the above formula 2 to calculate the degree of change in the voltage holding ratio.
(5) Evaluation of UV stability under harsher conditions
- Measurement of voltage retention after UV irradiation in more severe conditions
The liquid crystal compositions prepared in Examples 9 to 12 and Comparative Examples 9 to 12 were pretreated with 10 J of UV irradiation in an oxygen-contact environment. Thereafter, the preprocessed liquid crystal composition was injected into each of 4.0 占 퐉 TN cells prepared and dried in advance, and the voltage retention ratio after the UV irradiation was measured under the same conditions as those in which the initial voltage maintenance ratio was measured using the cell.

Referring to Tables 4 and 5, it is also possible to use a compound having a double bond at the terminal thereof, a terphenyl group at the center thereof, or a -CF 2 O- or -CF 2 O- group, as in Comparative Examples 1, 3, 5, 7, When a liquid crystal molecule containing a linking group such as CH 2 O- is used, it is confirmed that heat and light stability are poor as compared with the reference example not employing such a structure.
Compared with Comparative Examples 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 in which known light stabilizers were added to Comparative Examples 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 in which heat and light stability were poor, It is confirmed that both the thermal stability and the light stability are excellent in the examples in which the light stabilizer according to the present invention is incorporated. Compared with Comparative Examples 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 in which no light stabilizer was added, the transparent point decreased by 1 ° C or more in Comparative Examples in which conventional light stabilizers were added, It is confirmed that the change of the transparent point is hardly changed to 0.1 占 폚 or less in the embodiments in which the light stabilizer according to the present invention is incorporated.
That is, by using the light stabilizer according to one embodiment of the present invention, heat and light stability can be remarkably improved without changing the physical properties of the liquid crystal molecules having poor heat and light stability. Accordingly, the liquid crystal composition according to an embodiment of the present invention can admit various liquid crystal molecules that have been restricted in use due to adverse effects on the stability and lifetime of the liquid crystal display device, Devices. ≪ / RTI >
