Description

向列型液晶組成物及使用其之液晶顯示元件
本發明係關於一種可用作液晶顯示材料,介電各向異性(dielectric anisotropy)(△ε)顯示負值之向列型液晶組成物及使用其之液晶顯示元件。
液晶顯示元件被使用於鐘錶、計算器以及家用之各種電氣設備、測量機器、汽車用面板、文字處理機、電子記事簿、列印機、電腦、電視等。作為液晶顯示方式,其具有代表性者可列舉:TN(扭轉向列,twist nematic)型、STN(超扭轉向列,supertwist nematic)型、DS(動態光散射,dynamic light scattering)型、GH(賓-主,guest-host)型、IPS(橫向電場切換,in plane switching)型、OCB(光學補償雙折射,optical compensated birefringence)型、ECB(電控雙折射,electrically controlled birefringence)型、VA(垂直配向,vertical alignment)型、CSH(彩色超垂面型,colour super homeotropic)型、或者FLC(鐵電液晶,ferroelectric liquid crystal)等。又,作為驅動方式,亦可列舉:靜態驅動、多工驅動、單純矩陣方式、藉由TFT(薄膜電晶體,thin-film transistor)或TFD(薄膜二極體,thin-film diode)等驅動之主動矩陣(AM,active-matrix)方式。
該等顯示方式中,IPS型、ECB型、VA型、或CSH型等具有使用△ε顯示負值之液晶組成物的特徵。該等中,尤其是進行AM驅動 之VA型顯示方式被使用於要求高速應答、廣視角之顯示元件、例如電視等用途中。
作為△ε為負的液晶組成物,揭示有使用如下之具有2,3-二氟伸苯基骨架之液晶化合物(A)及(B)(參照專利文獻1)的液晶組成物。
該液晶組成物中使用作為△ε約為0之液晶化合物的液晶化合物(C)及(D),但未能使液晶電視等要求高速應答之液晶組成物實現足夠低之黏性。
另一方面,亦已揭示有使用液晶化合物(E)之液晶組成物,且介紹了組合有上述液晶化合物(D)之折射率各向異性△n較小之液晶組成物(參照專利文獻2)或為改善應答速度而添加有液晶化合物(F)之液晶組成物(參照專利文獻3)。
另外,亦已揭示有使用液晶化合物(G)及液晶化合物(F) 之液晶組成物(參照專利文獻4),但業界要求更加高速應答化。
揭示有於液晶化合物(A)及液晶化合物(G)組合△ε約為0之式(I)表示之液晶化合物而成之液晶組成物(參照專利文獻5)。然而,認為由於在液晶顯示元件之製造步驟中將液晶組成物注入至液晶單元中時係設定為極低壓,故而蒸氣壓較低之化合物會揮發,因而無法增加其含量。因此,該液晶組成物中對以式(I)表示之液晶化合物之含量加以限定,雖顯示較大之△n,但存在黏度非常高之問題。
進而,於專利文獻6或專利文獻7中,亦已揭示有使用具有經氟取代之聯三苯基構造之化合物的液晶組成物。
另一方面,於專利文獻8中,揭示有藉由使用(式1)表示之指數較大之液晶材料而提高垂面(homeotropic)液晶單元之應答速度的技術,但尚不充分。
FoM=K33.△n2/γ1 (式1)
K33:彈性常數
△n:折射率各向異性
γ1:旋轉黏性
根據以上所述,液晶電視等要求高速應答之液晶組成物中,不使折射率各向異性(△n)及向列相-等向性液體相轉移溫度(Tni)降低,並且要求使黏度(η)足夠小、旋轉黏性(γ1)足夠小,使彈性常數(K33) 增大。

製備由表3所記載之組成構成之LC-D(比較例4)、LC-5(實施例5)、LC-6(實施例6)及LC-7(實施例7),且測定其物性值,結果如下所示。
本發明之液晶組成物之LC-5、LC-6及LC-7之黏度(η)較小、旋轉黏性(γ1)較小、彈性常數(K33)較大,故而γ1/K33為與比較例之LC-D之該值相比非常小之值。
(比較例5及實施例8)

本發明之液晶組成物之LC-8之黏度(η)較小、旋轉黏性(γ1)較小、彈性常數(K33)較大,故而γ1/K33為5.7,係與比較例之LC-E之該值相比非常小之值。
根據以上所述,確認本發明之液晶組成物係不使△n及Tni降低,具有η足夠小、旋轉黏性γ1足夠小、彈性常數K33較大且絕對值較大之負的介電各向異性(△ε)者,並且使用其之VA型液晶顯示元件之顯示品質優異、應答速度迅速。
