- 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, VA (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 factors such as moisture, air, heat, light, etc., and exhibits a liquid crystal phase in the widest possible temperature range centering on room temperature, and has low viscosity. And a low driving voltage is required.
- the liquid crystal composition has several to several tens of kinds of compounds in order to optimize the dielectric anisotropy ( ⁇ ) and the refractive index anisotropy ( ⁇ n) for each display element. It is composed of
- a liquid crystal composition having a negative ⁇ is used, which is widely used for a liquid crystal TV or the like.
- low voltage driving, high-speed response, and a wide operating temperature range are required in all driving systems. That is, ⁇ is positive, the absolute value is large, the viscosity ( ⁇ ) is small, and a high nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature (T ni ) is required.

- PS liquid crystal display elements polymer stabilized, polymer stabilized
- PSA liquid crystal display elements polymer sustained alignment, polymer sustaining alignment

- usable compounds are specified because of the necessity of maintaining a high voltage holding ratio, and use of compounds having an ester bond in the compound is limited.
- Monomers used for PSA liquid crystal display elements are mainly acrylate-based, and compounds having an ester bond are generally used, and such compounds are not normally used as liquid crystal compounds for active matrix (patents). Reference 3). Such foreign matter induces the generation of dripping marks, and the deterioration of the yield of the liquid crystal display element due to display failure is a problem. In addition, when adding additives such as antioxidants and light absorbers to the liquid crystal composition, deterioration of yield becomes a problem.
- the dripping mark is defined as a phenomenon in which the mark of dropping the liquid crystal composition appears white when displaying black.

- the present inventors have studied the structures of various liquid crystal compositions that are optimal for the production of liquid crystal display elements by a dropping method, and used a specific liquid crystal compound at a specific mixing ratio to produce a liquid crystal. The inventors have found that the occurrence of dripping marks in the display element can be suppressed, and have completed the present invention.

Abstract
Description
従来、γ1の小さい液晶組成物を構成するためには、ジアルキルビシクロヘキサン骨格を有する化合物を用いることが一般的であった(特許文献1参照)。しかしながら、ビシクロヘキサン系化合物はγ1の低減には効果が高いものの、一般に蒸気圧が高くアルキル鎖長の短い化合物は特にその傾向が顕著である。又、Tniも低い傾向があることからそのため、アルキルビシクロヘキサン系化合物は側鎖長の合計が炭素原子数7以上の化合物を用いることが多く、側鎖長の短い化合物については十分な検討がなされていないのが実情であった。
