Abstract
The present invention relates to liquid-crystalline media comprising one or more compounds of formula T and one or more compounds selected from the group of compounds of formulae I, II and III, in which the parameters have the meaning indicated in Claim 1, and to components comprising these media for high-frequency technology, in particular phase shifters and microwave array antennas.
Claims23
Liquid-crystal medium, which comprises:
- one or more compounds selected from the compounds of formulae T-1 and T-3:
- wherein
- Alkyl1 is methyl or ethyl,
- one or more compounds selected from the group of compounds of formulae I, II and III
- in which
- L11 denotes R11 or X11,

- X21 and X22, independently of one another, denote F or Cl, —CN, —NCS, —SF5, fluorinated alkyl or fluorinated alkoxy having 1 to 7 C atoms or fluorinated alkenyl, fluorinated alkenyloxy or fluorinated alkoxyalkyl having 2 to 7 C atoms,
- one of
- Z21 and Z22 denotes trans-CH═CH—, trans-CF═CF— or —C≡C— and the other, independently thereof, denotes trans-CH═CH—, trans-CF═CF— or a single bond, and
- independently of one another, denote
- in which
- L31 denotes R31 or X31,
- L32 denotes R32 or X32,
- R31 and R32, independently of one another, denote H, unfluorinated alkyl or unfluorinated alkoxy having 1 to 17 C atoms or unfluorinated alkenyl, unfluorinated alkenyloxy or unfluorinated alkoxyalkyl having 2 to 15 C atoms,
- X31 and X32, independently of one another, denote H, F, Cl, —CN, —NCS, —SF5, fluorinated alkyl or fluorinated alkoxy having 1 to 7 C atoms or fluorinated alkenyl, unfluorinated or fluorinated alkenyloxy or unfluorinated or fluorinated alkoxyalkyl having 2 to 7 C atoms,
- Z31 to Z33, independently of one another, denote trans-CH═CH—, trans —CF═CF—, —C≡C— or a single bond, and
- independently of one another, denote
- one or more compounds of the formula IV:
- wherein
- R41 to R42 independently of one another, denote unfluorinated alkyl or unfluorinated alkoxy, each having 1 to 15 C atoms, unfluorinated alkenyl, unfluorinated alkenyloxy or unfluorinated alkoxyalkyl, each having 2 to 15 C atoms, or cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkylcycloalkenyl, alkylcycloalkylalkyl or alkylcycloalkenylalkyl, each having up to 15 C atoms,
- and
- one or more compounds of the following formula PGUQU-n-F
- where n is an integer from 1 to 7.
