Description

Liquid crystal composition and liquid crystal display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of liquid crystal materials, in particular to a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal display device.
Background
The liquid crystal display device can be used in various household electrical appliances such as a timepiece and an electronic calculator, a measuring device, an automobile panel, a word processor, a computer, a printer, a television, and the like. Types according to display modes are classified into PC (PHASE CHANGE ), TN (TWIST NEMATIC, twisted nematic), STN (super TWISTED NEMATIC ), ECB (ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED BIREFRINGENCE, electrically controlled birefringence), OCB (optically compensated bend ), IPS (in-PLANE SWITCHING, in-plane transition), VA (VERTICAL ALIGNMENT ), and the like. The driving method of the element is classified into a PM (passive matrix) type and an AM (active matrix) type. PM is classified into static (static) and multiplex (multiplex) types. AM is classified into TFT (thin film transistor ), MIM (metal insulator metal, metal-insulator-metal) and the like. The TFT types are amorphous silicon (amorphous silicon) and polysilicon (polycrystal silicon). The latter is classified into a high temperature type and a low temperature type according to the manufacturing process. Liquid crystal display elements are classified into a reflective type using natural light, a transmissive type using backlight, and a semi-transmissive type using both natural light and backlight, depending on the types of light sources.
In low information content, passive driving is generally used, but as the information content increases, the display size and the number of display paths increases, and crosstalk and contrast reduction become serious, so Active Matrix (AM) driving is generally used, and Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) are currently used for driving. In an AM-TFT element, TFT switching devices are addressed in a two-dimensional grid, and the pixel electrode is recharged for a finite period of time while on, and then turned off until addressed again in the next cycle. Therefore, between two address periods, a change in voltage across the pixel is undesirable, otherwise the light transmittance of the pixel may change, resulting in instability of the display. The discharge rate of a pixel depends on the electrode capacity and the resistivity of the inter-electrode dielectric material. Therefore, the liquid crystal material is required to have higher resistivity, good chemical and thermal stability and stability to electric field and electromagnetic radiation, and simultaneously is required to have proper optical anisotropy, dielectric anisotropy and low-temperature intersolubility and lower threshold voltage so as to achieve the purposes of reducing driving voltage and reducing power consumption; there is also a demand for lower viscosity to meet the need for quick response, but it is difficult to ensure good properties of liquid crystal compositions, which have been reported in many documents.
The liquid crystal display element contains a liquid crystal composition having a nematic phase, and the liquid crystal composition has appropriate characteristics. By improving the characteristics of the liquid crystal composition, an AM element having good characteristics can be obtained. The correlation between the characteristics of the liquid crystal composition and the characteristics of the AM element is summarized in table 1 below.
TABLE 1 Properties of liquid Crystal composition and AM element
From this, it is found that in order to increase the response speed of the liquid crystal display device, the rotational viscosity of the liquid crystal material needs to be reduced as much as possible. However, the clearing point, optical anisotropy, absolute value of dielectric anisotropy, etc. of the liquid crystal material with low viscosity are generally low.
The threshold voltage of the mixed liquid crystal mainly depends on the delta epsilon of the liquid crystal, and the delta epsilon is large, so that the threshold voltage of the liquid crystal is reduced, and the delta epsilon of the mixed liquid crystal is modulated to a proper value through the mixing of monomer liquid crystals with different polarities, so that the requirement of the working voltage of a display device is met. However, increasing Δεof the liquid crystal may increase the viscosity of the liquid crystal and decrease the stability of the liquid crystal. And delta epsilon is large, the threshold voltage is low, the order degree of liquid crystal molecules is low, and the K ave value reflecting the order degree of the liquid crystal molecules is also reduced, so that the light leakage and the contrast of the liquid crystal material are influenced, and the two are generally difficult to be compatible.
WO2022175219A1 discloses a liquid-crystalline compound of the formula I) The liquid crystal compound is a continuous ring composed of a five-membered ring and a six-membered ring. When only adjacent five-membered rings exist in the compound, the structure has large curvature, large bond angle tension between C-C bonds and large intermolecular acting force, and when the structure is acted by an electric field, the response speed to the electric field is high, but carbon atoms of the adjacent pentagons of the structure are extremely active, the whole carbon cage is extremely unstable and cannot exist in air stably, and the structure of the compound is stable by introducing a six-membered ring structure between the adjacent five-membered rings, and the compound can be kept to have larger bond angle tension between C-C bonds and larger intermolecular acting force, so that the compound is focused.
However, it has been found through experiments that when the response speed of a liquid crystal display element containing the liquid crystal compound is high, the driving voltage is also increased, so that the electric power consumption is increased, the normal driving of the liquid crystal display element is seriously affected, and the low-temperature storage time of the liquid crystal display element containing the liquid crystal compound is shorter, and the pursuit of longer low-temperature storage time cannot be satisfied.
It is known that the properties of the liquid crystal material are affected by each other, and that improvement of a certain property index may change other properties, and that creative labor is often required for preparing the liquid crystal material with proper properties. Therefore, how to develop a liquid crystal material, which has proper optical anisotropy and clear point, and simultaneously has smaller rotational viscosity, shorter response time, higher contrast, larger absolute value of dielectric anisotropy and longer low-temperature storage time, is the research focus in the field.
