Abstract
Liquid-crystalline (LC) media having positive dielectric anisotropy and liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) containing these media. Also, displays addressed by an active matrix and 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-stabilized SA-HB-FFS, polymer-stabilized SA-XB-FFS, positive VA, or positive PS-VA type.
Claims14
A liquid crystal medium comprising one or more compounds of formula I:
- in which
- R11 and R12 identically or differently, denote H, a straight-chain alkyl or alkoxy group having 1 to 15 C atoms, a straight-chain alkenyl or alkenyloxy group having 2 to 15 C atoms, or a branched alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, or alkenyloxy group having 3 to 15 C atoms, wherein one or more CH2 groups are optionally replaced, independently of one another, by
- —CH═CH—, —C≡C—, —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —O—, —CO—O—, or —O—CO— in such a way that 0 atoms are not linked directly to one another, and in which one or more H atoms are optionally replaced by halogen;
- and
- L11, L12, L13, and L14 identically or differently, denote H, F, Cl, CH3, CF3, or CHF2, wherein at least one of L11, L12, L13, or L1 denotes F, Cl, CH3, CF3, or CHF2.
- wherein the liquid crystal medium has positive dielectric anisotropy.
