- one or more dielectrically positive compounds of formula IB,
- one or more dielectrically positive compounds of formula IC, and
- one or more dielectrically neutral compounds of formula V
- in which
- R1 denotes alkyl, alkoxy, fluorinated alkyl or fluorinated alkoxy having 1 to 7 C atoms, alkenyl, alkenyloxy, alkoxyalkyl or fluorinated alkenyl having 2 to 7 C atoms,
- independently of one another, denote
- independently of one another, denote
- Z11 to Z16, independently of one another, denote —CH2CH2—, —CF2CF2—, —COO—, trans-CH═CH—, trans-CF═CF—, —C≡C—, —CH2O—, —CF2O— or a single bond,
- L11 and L12, independently of one another, denote H, F or Cl,
- X1 denotes H or F,
