Fast response and wide viewing characteristics in VA-LCD could be achieved by adoption of UV-curable reactive mesogen (RM) into the LC medium. As an effort to develop new efficient reactive mesogens (RMs) based on biphenyl core, we introduced (E)-ethyl 3-(furan-2-yl)acrylate and 2-methoxy acrylate as photo-crosslinkable end groups. In order to evaluate the photo reactivity of new reactive mesogens, we have synthesized a series of model compounds and carried out an investigation of the polymerization of the model compounds with UV-light using the Photo-DSC method. In this presentation, we will present the synthesis and characterization of the model compounds as well as the photoreactivity of the new reactive groups. |
