Abstract
A liquid-crystalline medium containing one or more compounds of formula IA, and the use thereof in an active-matrix display, in particular in a VA, IPS, U-IPS, FFS, UB-FFS, SA-VA, SA-FFS, PS-VA, PS-OCB, PS-IPS, PS-FFS, PS-UB-FFS, PS-posi-VA, PS-TN, polymer stabilised SA-VA or polymer stabilised SA-FFS display.
Claims20
A liquid-crystalline medium, comprising
- one or more compounds of formula IA
- in which
- R11, R12 identically or differently, denote H, an alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 15 C atoms, in which one or more CH2 groups are optionally each replaced, independently of one another, by —C≡C—, —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —CH—CH—,
- —O—, —CO—O— or —O—CO— in such a way that O atoms are not linked directly to one another, and in which one or more H atoms are optionally replaced by halogen;
- and
- one or more compounds selected from the group of compounds of formulae T-1 to T-21
- in which
- R denotes a straight-chain alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 6 C atoms,
- (O) denotes —O— or a single bond,
- m is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, and
- n is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4;
- or
- one or more polymerizable compounds of formula P
- P-Sp-A1-(Z1-A2)z-R P
- in which
- P denotes a polymerisable group,
- Sp denotes a spacer group or a single bond,
- A1, A2 each, independently, denotes an aromatic, heteroaromatic, alicyclic or heteroaliphatic group, which may contain fused rings, and which is unsubstituted, or mono- or polysubstituted by L,
- Z1 denotes —O—, —S—, —CO—, —CO—O—, —O—CO—, —O—CO—O—, OCH2—, —CH2O—, —SCH2—, —CH2S—, —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —CF2S—, —SCF2—, —(CH2)n1—, —CF2CH2—, —CH2CF2—, —(CF2)n1, —CH═CH—, —CF═CF—, —CH═CF—, —CF═CH—, —C≡C—, —CH═CH—CO—O—, —O—CO—CH═CH—, —CH2—CH2—CO—O—, —O—CO—CH2—CH2—, —CR0R00—, or a single bond,
- R0, R00 identically or differently, denote H or alkyl having 1 to 12 C atom,
- R denotes H, L, or P-Sp-,
- L denotes F, Cl, —CN, P-Sp- or straight chain alkyl having 1 to 25 C atoms or a branched or cyclic alkyl having 3 to 25 C atoms, in which one or more non-adjacent CH4-groups are optionally replaced by —O—, —S—, —CO—, —CO—O—, —O—CO—, or —O—CO—O— in such a manner that O- and/or S-atoms are not directly connected with each other, and in which one or more H atoms are each optionally replaced by P-Sp-, F or Cl,
- z is 0, 1, 2 or 3, and
- n1 is 1, 2, 3 or 4.
