Abstract
The invention relates to dielectrically positive liquid crystalline media comprising a compound of formula I wherein the parameters have the meaning given in claim 1 and to liquid crystal displays comprising these media, especially to active matrix displays and in particular to TN and IPS mode displays.
Claims18
A liquid crystal medium, comprising
- one or more compounds of formula I
- wherein
- R1 denotes alkyl, alkoxy, fluorinated alkyl or fluorinated alkoxy with 1 to 7 C-atoms, or alkenyl, alkenyloxy, alkoxyalkyl or fluorinated alkenyl with 2 to 7 C-atoms, and
- L1 denotes H or F;
- and
- one or more compounds of formula II-1a;
- and
- one or more compounds of formula II-1g;
- and
- optionally one or more compounds of formula III;
- wherein
- R2 and R3 are, independently of each other, alkyl, alkoxy, fluorinated alkyl or fluorinated alkoxy with 1 to 7 C-atoms, or alkenyl, alkenyloxy, alkoxyalkyl or fluorinated alkenyl with 2 to 7 C-atoms,
- are, independently of each other,
- L21, L22, L23, L24,
- L31 and L32 are, independently of each other, H or F,
- X2 and X3 are, independently of each other, halogen, halogenated alkyl or alkoxy with 1 to 3 C-atoms, or halogenated alkenyl or alkenyloxy with 2 or 3 C-atoms,
- Z3 is —CH2CH2—, —CF2CF2—, —COO—, trans-—CH═CH—, trans-—CF═CF—, —CH2O— or a single bond, and
- n and o are, independently of each other, 0 or 1;
- and wherein the liquid crystal medium has a Δε, at 1 kHz and 20° C., of 8 to 14.
