Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nematic liquid crystal composition having a positive dielectric anisotropy ( ⁇ ) useful as a liquid crystal display material, and a liquid crystal display device and a liquid crystal display using the same.
- Liquid crystal display elements are used in various measuring instruments, automobile panels, word processors, electronic notebooks, printers, computers, televisions, watches, advertisement display boards, etc., including clocks and calculators.
- Typical liquid crystal display methods include TN (twisted nematic) type, STN (super twisted nematic) type, vertical alignment type using TFT (thin film transistor), and IPS (in-plane switching) type.
- the liquid crystal composition used in these liquid crystal display elements is stable against external stimuli such as moisture, air, heat, light, etc., and exhibits a liquid crystal phase in the widest possible temperature range centering on room temperature. And a low driving voltage is required. Further, the liquid crystal composition is composed of several to several tens of kinds of compounds in order to optimize the dielectric anisotropy ( ⁇ ) and / or the refractive index anisotropy ( ⁇ n) for each display element. Yes.
- a liquid crystal composition having a negative ⁇ is used, and in a horizontal alignment type display such as a TN type, STN type, or IPS (in-plane switching) type, a liquid crystal composition having a positive ⁇ . Is used.
- a driving method in which a liquid crystal composition having a positive ⁇ is vertically aligned when no voltage is applied and a horizontal electric field is applied for display has been reported, and the necessity of a liquid crystal composition having a positive ⁇ has further increased. Yes.
- low voltage driving, high-speed response, and a wide operating temperature range are required in all driving systems.
- ⁇ is positive, the absolute value is large, the viscosity ( ⁇ ) is small, and a high nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature (Tni) is required.
- Tni nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature
- Examples of the composition of a liquid crystal composition aimed at high-speed response include, for example, a compound represented by the following formula (A-1) or (A-2) below, in which ⁇ is a positive liquid crystal compound, and ⁇ is neutral:

- the drop amount deviation increases from the optimum value, the balance between the refractive index and the driving electric field of the liquid crystal display element designed in advance is lost, and display defects such as spots and poor contrast occur.
- small liquid crystal display elements frequently used in smartphones that have recently become popular are difficult to control the deviation from the optimal value within a certain range because the optimal liquid crystal dripping amount is small. Therefore, in order to maintain a high manufacturing yield of the liquid crystal display element, the liquid crystal composition is less affected by, for example, a sudden pressure change or impact in the dropping device that occurs when the liquid crystal is dropped, and is continuously stable over a long period of time. Therefore, it must be dripping.
- the conventional characteristics and performances required for the liquid crystal display element such as high-speed response performance are maintained, and importance is conventionally attached.
