Abstract
Liquid-crystalline (LC) media containing a combination of 2-phenylthiophene derivatives of formula G and formula U or LC materials and energy saving liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) containing these media, especially gaming displays and AR/VR headsets addressed by an active matrix and in particular to LC displays of the TN, PS-TN, STN, TN-TFT, OCB, IPS, PS-IPS, FFS, HB-FFS, XB-FFS, PS-FFS, SA-HB-FFS, SA-XB-FFS, polymer stabilised SA-HB-FFS, polymer stabilised SA-XB-FFS, positive VA or positive PS-VA type.
Claims19
A liquid-crystalline medium having a positive dielectric anisotropy, comprising one or more compounds of Formula G
- and one or more compounds of Formula U
- in which the individual substituents have the following meanings:
- R1, R2, each, independently of one another, denote a H atom,
- R4 and R5 an alkyl or an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 C atoms or an alkenyl or an alkenyloxy group having 2 to 12 C atoms in which one or more non-adjacent CH2 groups are optionally substituted 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 a halogen atom or a cycloalkyl or a cycloalkoxy group having 3 to 12 C atoms;
- R3 and R6 each, independently of one another, denote a H atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 C atoms or an alkenyl group having 2 to 3 C atoms in which one or more non-adjacent CH2 groups are optionally substituted 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;

- Z1 to Z4 each, independently of one another, denote —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —CH2O—, —OCH2—, —CO—O—, —O—CO—, —C2H4—, —C2F4—, —CF2CH2—, —CH2CF2—, —CFHCFH—, —CFHCH2—, —CH2CFH—, —CF2CFH—, —CFHCF2—, —CH═CH—, —CF═CH—, —CH═CF—, —CF═CF—, —C≡C— or a single bond;
- and
- k, l, m, n each, independently of one another, denote 0, 1, 2 or 3;
- and
- one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of the following formulae:
- in which the individual substituents have the following meanings:
- in which the individual substituents have the following meanings:
- R0 denotes a H atom, a halogen atom, —CN, —SCN, —NCS, an alkyl of an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 C atoms or an alkenyl or an alkenyloxy group having 2 to 12 C atoms in which one or more non-adjacent CH2 groups are optionally substituted 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 a halogen atom or a cycloalkyl or a cycloalkoxy group having 3 to 12 C atoms, in which one or more H atoms may be replaced by a halogen atom;
- X0 denotes F, Cl, a halogenated alkyl group, a halogenated alkenyl group, a halogenated alkoxy group or a halogenated alkenyloxy group having up to 6 C atoms;
- L1 to L6 each, independently of one another, denote H, F or Cl;
