Abstract
The present invention relates to liquid-crystal (LC) media having negative dielectric anisotropy comprising one or more compounds of formula I and one, two, three or more compounds of formula III as defined in claim 1, and to the use of the LC media for optical, electro-optical and electronic purposes, in particular useful to enable energy-saving LC displays of the VA, IPS or FFS type.
Claims20
A liquid crystal medium comprising
- one or more chiral compounds,
- one or more compounds of formula I
- and
- one or more compounds of formula III
- in which
- R11 and R12 each, independently of one another, denote H, an alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 15 C atoms, where one or more CH2 groups in these radicals may each be replaced, independently of one another, by
- —C═C—, —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —CH═CH—, by —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,
- with the proviso that at least one of R11 or R12 is an alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 15 C atoms wherein at least one CH2 group is independently replaced 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,
- A1 on each occurrence, independently of one another, denotes a 1,4-phenylene radical, in which one or two CH groups may be replaced by N, or a 1,4-cyclohexylene or 1,4-cyclohexenylene radical, in which one or two non-adjacent CH2 groups may be replaced by —O— or —S—,
- where the radicals may be mono- or polysubstituted by halogen atoms,
- n denotes 1 or 2,
- Z1 on each occurrence independently of one another denotes —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —CH2O—, —OCH2—, —CH2—, —CH2CH2—, —CH═CH—, or —C═C—,
- L11 and L12 each, independently of one another, denote F, Cl, CF3 or CHF2,
- and
- W denotes O or S,
- and wherein said liquid crystal medium has a negative dielectric anisotropy.

A liquid crystal medium comprising
- one or more chiral compounds,
- one or more compounds of formula I
- and
- one or more compounds of formula III-3
- in which
- R11 and R12 identically or differently, denote H, an alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 15 C atoms, in which one or more CH2 groups in these radicals are optionally 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,
- with the proviso that at least one of R11 or R12 is an alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 15 C atoms wherein at least one CH2 group is independently replaced 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,
- and wherein said liquid crystal medium has a negative dielectric anisotropy.
