Abstract
A liquid-crystalline medium having least one compound of the formula I, and at least one compound of the formulae ST-1 to ST-17, in which R1 and R1*, A1 and A1*, Z1 and Z1*, X, L1 and L2, RST, ring A, ZST, p and q have the meanings indicated in claim 1, and the use thereof for an active-matrix display, in particular based on the VA, PSA, PA-VA, SS-VA, SA-VA, PS-VA, PALC, IPS, PS-IPS, UB-FFS, U-IPS, FFS or PS-FFS effect.

A liquid-crystalline medium, consisting of at least one compound of formula I,
- in which
- R1 and R1* each, independently of one another, denote H, an alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 15 C atoms, in which one or more CH2 groups may each be 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 may be replaced by halogen,
- X denotes —O—, and
- L2 and L2 each, independently of one another, denote F, Cl, CF3 or CHF2,
- and at least one compound of the following formulae ST,
- in which
- RST denotes H, an alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 15 C atoms, in which one or more CH2 groups may each be 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 may be replaced by halogen,
- denotes
- ZST each, independently of one another, denotes —CO—O—, —O—CO—, —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —CH2O—, —OCH2—, —CH2—, —CH2CH2—, —(CH2)4—, —CH═CH—CH2O—, —C2F4—, —CH2CF2—, —CF2CH2—, —CF═CF—, —CH═CF—, —CF═CH—, —CH═CH—, —C≡C— or a single bond,
- L2 and L2 each, independently of one another, denote F, Cl, CF3 or CHF2,
- p denotes 1 or 2, and
- q denotes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10,
- and at least one compound of formula IIA or IIB
- in which
- R2A and R2B each, independently of one another, denote H, a C1-15-alkyl or C2-15-alkenyl radical which is unsubstituted, monosubstituted by CN or CF3 or at least monosubstituted by halogen, in which one or more CH2 groups may be replaced by —O—, —S—,
- —C≡C—, —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —OC—O— or —O—CO— in such a way that O atoms are not linked directly to one another,
- L1-4 each, independently of one another, denote F or Cl,
- Z2 and Z2′ each, independently of one another, denote a single bond, —CH2CH2—, —CH═CH—, —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —CH2O—, —OCH2—, —COO—, —OCO—, —C2F4—, —CF═CF—, or —CH═CHCH2O—,
- p denotes 0, 1 or 2,
- q denotes 0 or 1, and
- denotes 1 to 6,
- and one or more compounds of formulae L-1 to L-11,
- in which
- R, R1 and R2 each, independently of one another, denote H, a C1-15-alkyl or C2-15-alkenyl radical which is unsubstituted, monosubstituted by CN or CF3 or at least monosubstituted by halogen, in which one or more CH2 groups may be replaced by —O—, —S—,
- —C≡C—, —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —OC—O— or —O—CO— in such a way that O atoms are not linked directly to one another,
- alkyl denotes an alkyl radical having 1-6 C atoms,
- (O) represents an optionally present oxygen atom, and
- s denotes 1 or 2.
