Matrix liquid crystal display

A matrix liquid-crystal display containing:

• two plane parallel support plates which together with a frame form a cell,
• integrated non-linear elements for switching individual picture elements on the support plates and
• a nematic liquid-crystal mixture of at least two liquid crystalline compounds which is present in the cell and has a positive dielectric anisotropy and high resistivity,
• wherein the liquid-crystal mixture consists essentially of liquid-crystalline component B compounds having a dielectric anisotropy of more than +1.5 and being of formulas IIa-IIf:
• ##STR16## in which R is n-alkyl or n-alkenyl of up to 9 carbon atoms,
• X is cyano, --NCS, F, Cl, --CF.sub.3, --CHF.sub.2, --OCF.sub.3, --OCHF.sub.2, --OCF.sub.2 CF.sub.2 H or --OC.sub.2 F.sub.5, and
• the rings A.sup.1, A.sup.2 and A.sup.3 are each independently of one another, 1,4-phenylene, 2- or 3-fluoro-1,4-phenylene, 2,3-difluoro-1,4-phenylene, trans-1,4-cyclohexylene or 1,4-cyclohexenylene, and
• the nematic liquid-crystal mixture has a nematic phase range of at least 60.degree. C., a maximum viscosity at 20.degree. C. of 20 mPa.s, a mean dielectricity constant .epsilon..ltoreq.8 and contains .ltoreq.20% of compounds of formulae IIa to IIf wherein X denotes nitrile and contains compounds which conform to the formulae IIa to IIf where X is --OCF.sub.3, --OCHF.sub.2, --OCF.sub.2 CF.sub.2 H or --OC.sub.2 F.sub.5.
