Physical property of new liquid crystal materials and mixture design for active matrix LCD
We studied the physical properties of three series of new fluorinated liquid crystal components and prepared some mixtures by using these components. Decahydronaphthalenes have low Deltan with relatively high T-NI. Naphthalenes and Tetrahydronaphthalenes have large Delta epsilon and variety range of Deltan (0.08-0.21). Moreover, we have revealed that the fluoro- substituent at C-1 position for the naphthalene and the tetrahydronaphthalene ring has effects to increase T-NI and to reduce gamma (1) with good solubility. Then, we have designed some LC mixtures for AM-LCD having good performance with 4V-driving, quick response, high birefringence. low birefringence, wide temperature range and low driving voltage.
