Description

Liquid crystal composition and element for phase control of electromagnetic wave signal
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an element for phase control of an electromagnetic wave signal having a frequency of 1MHz to 400THz and a liquid crystal composition used in the element. The composition has a nematic phase and a positive or negative dielectric constant anisotropy.
Background
Examples of the element for controlling the phase of the electromagnetic wave signal having a frequency of 1MHz to 400THz include millimeter wave band, microwave band antenna, and infrared laser element. Various methods have been studied for these elements, but a method using a liquid crystal which is considered to have less failure due to the absence of a mechanically movable part has been attracting attention.
The alignment of the molecules of the liquid crystal changes according to the externally applied bias electric field, and the dielectric constant changes. By utilizing such a property, for example, a microwave device capable of electrically controlling the transmission characteristics of the high-frequency transmission line from the outside can be realized. As such a device, a voltage-controlled millimeter-wave band variable phase shifter in which a waveguide is filled with a nematic liquid crystal, a microwave-millimeter-wave band variable phase shifter using a nematic liquid crystal as a dielectric substrate of a microstrip line, or the like has been reported (patent document 1 and patent document 2).
Such an element for phase control of an electromagnetic wave signal desirably has characteristics of a wide usable temperature range, high gain, low loss, and the like. Therefore, the characteristics of the liquid crystal composition require a high upper limit temperature of the nematic phase, a low lower limit temperature of the nematic phase, low viscosity, large optical anisotropy in a frequency region used in phase control, large dielectric anisotropy, small dielectric loss, large specific resistance in a driving frequency region, stability to heat, and the like.
The conventional compositions are disclosed in patent documents 3 to 4 below.

[ Effect of the invention ]
The composition of the present invention has a high upper limit temperature of a nematic phase, a low lower limit temperature of a nematic phase, a large optical anisotropy in a frequency region used in phase control, a small dielectric loss, and stability to heat. Therefore, the element using the material has a practically excellent characteristic.
Detailed Description
The liquid crystal composition of the present invention is sometimes simply referred to as "composition". In the element of the present invention, the phase in the "composition" is not limited to nematic, but may be other liquid crystal phases or isotropic liquids. When used as an element, the liquid crystal phase is preferably a nematic phase.
Examples of the element for controlling the phase of an electromagnetic wave signal having a frequency of 1MHz to 400THz include a millimeter-wave band variable phase shifter, a laser radar (Light Detection and Ranging, liDAR) element, and the like.
The "liquid crystalline compound" refers to a compound having a liquid crystal phase such as a nematic phase or a smectic phase, or a compound which does not have a liquid crystal phase but is useful as a component of the composition. The useful compounds contain six-membered rings such as 1, 4-cyclohexylene or 1, 4-phenylene and have a linear molecular structure. Optically active compounds are sometimes added to the composition. Even if the compound is a liquid crystalline compound, it is classified as an additive herein.
The upper limit temperature of the nematic phase is sometimes simply referred to as "upper limit temperature". The lower limit temperature of the nematic phase is sometimes simply referred to as "lower limit temperature".
By "large specific resistance" is meant that the composition has a large specific resistance not only at room temperature but also at a high temperature in the initial stage, and also has a large specific resistance not only at room temperature but also at a high temperature after a long period of use. In describing the characteristics such as optical anisotropy, values measured by the method described in examples are used. The "proportion of the first component" means a weight percentage (wt%) based on the total weight of the liquid crystalline compound. The same applies to the proportion of the second component. The proportion of the additive to be mixed into the composition means a weight percentage (wt%) based on the total weight of the liquid crystalline compound.
The compound of formula (1) as the first component of the present invention will be described in more detail. Z of formula (1) of the invention 2 Compounds which are-C.ident.C-are relative to, for example, Z 2 Is a single bondThe compounds of (2) tend to have poor stability to ultraviolet light. Therefore, it is difficult to practically apply the composition comprising the compound to display applications using visible light comprising ultraviolet light or near ultraviolet light. However, since the compound of formula (1) of the present invention has high refractive index anisotropy, it is preferable to use the composition containing the compound of formula (1) for phase control of electromagnetic wave signals having frequencies of 1MHz to 400THz, which are lower in energy than ultraviolet and visible light.
In this case, in order to expand the liquid crystal temperature range or improve the response speed while maintaining the optical anisotropy of the composition, it is preferable to select alkyl, alkoxy, or alkenyl as R of the compound of formula (1) 2 . R of the compound of the formula (1) 1 R is R 2 In order to expand the temperature range of the nematic phase of the composition, the preferred alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, or octyl groups. Further preferred alkyl groups are ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl or heptyl in order to reduce the viscosity.
R of the compound of formula (1) 1 R is R 2 In order to expand the temperature range of the nematic phase of the composition, preferred alkoxy groups are methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, pentoxy, hexoxy, or heptoxy groups.

The dielectric constant of a dielectric body such as a liquid crystal varies according to frequency and temperature. Therefore, the frequency dependence of these dielectric constants is referred to as the dielectric properties of the dielectric body. When an alternating electric field is applied to the liquid crystal, as the frequency f increases, an internal electric dipole (electric dipole) can follow the change of the electric field, and thus the dielectric constant epsilon 'decreases while the conductivity sigma' increases, and the dielectric loss epsilon "shows a peak, which is dielectric relaxation (dielectric relaxation).
In the microwave and millimeter wave region, the method of mounting the device or sample is quite different depending on the measured frequency region. For the reason that electromagnetic field analysis is easy up to 10GHz, in many cases, a probe uses an open-end coaxial type cell, and a measurement system centering on a network analyzer is assembled and the frequency is scanned to obtain a spectrum of complex permittivity (dielectric relaxation spectrum) of a sample. At frequencies above 10GHz, waveguides are required rather than coaxial cables. In order to calculate the dielectric constant, the boundary condition when the electromagnetic wave is incident on the sample must be appropriately determined, and if the wavelength becomes short, precise processing is required accordingly. In a low frequency region, a capacitor cell is fabricated, a sample is inserted therein, and the dielectric constant is obtained from the change in capacitance.

< upper limit temperature of nematic phase >
In an embodiment, "NI" is "upper temperature".
The upper limit temperature is a measured value of the temperature at which a part of the sample changes from a nematic phase to an isotropic liquid by placing the sample on a hot plate provided with a melting point measuring device of a polarized light microscope and heating the sample at a rate of 1 ℃/min.
< lower limit temperature of nematic phase >
In an embodiment, "Tc" is the "lower limit temperature".
The lower limit temperature is determined by placing a sample having a nematic phase into a glass bottle, keeping the sample in a freezer at 0 ℃, -10 ℃, -20 ℃, -30 ℃ and-40 ℃ for 10 days, and observing the phase.
< refractive index anisotropy under visible light >)
In the examples, the refractive index anisotropy is expressed as "Δn".
Δn is measured by an abbe refractometer having a polarizing plate attached to an eyepiece.
After rubbing the surface of the main prism in one direction, a sample was dropped onto the main prism, the refractive index perpendicular to the direction of the polarized light and the rubbing direction was measured with n+.t, and the refractive index parallel to the direction of the polarized light and the rubbing direction was measured with n/. Δn is calculated using Δn=n/-n≡..
At this time, the measurement temperature was 25℃using light having a wavelength of 589 nm.
< dielectric constant anisotropy at 1kHz >)
The value of the dielectric anisotropy is calculated from the equation of Δε=ε/- ε. The dielectric constant (. Epsilon. T) was measured as follows.
(A) Determination of dielectric constant (ε): a well-cleaned glass substrate was coated with a solution of octadecyltriethoxysilane (0.16 mL) in ethanol (20 mL). After the glass substrate was rotated by a rotator, the glass substrate was heated at 150℃for 1 hour. Samples were placed in vertically oriented (vertical alignment, VA) elements of two glass substrates spaced 4 μm apart, and the elements were sealed with an adhesive that was cured with ultraviolet light. A sine wave (0.5V, 1 kHz) was applied to the element, and the dielectric constant (. Epsilon./V) of the liquid crystal molecules was measured in the long axis direction after 2 seconds.
(B) Determination of dielectric constant (ε+.T): a polyimide solution was coated on the sufficiently cleaned glass substrate. After the glass substrate is calcined, the obtained alignment film is subjected to a rubbing treatment. Samples were injected into a Twisted Nematic (TN) cell having a 9 μm gap between two glass substrates and a twist angle of 80 degrees. A sine wave (0.5V, 1 kHz) was applied to the element, and the dielectric constant (. Epsilon. DELTA.T.) of the liquid crystal molecules was measured in the short axis direction after 2 seconds.
Voltage holding ratio (voltage holding ratio, VHR) >
The units used for the measurement were of the following configuration. That is, an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) electrode and a rubbed polyimide alignment film are sequentially disposed on each substrate. The two substrates were bonded to each other with the alignment film surface as the inner side so that the angle of the rubbing direction between the upper and lower substrates was 80 degrees. The interval (cell gap) between the two glass substrates was 5. Mu.m. The liquid crystal composition was put into the cell, and then sealed with an adhesive that was cured with ultraviolet rays. Pulse voltages (5V, 60 μs) were applied to the TN cells to charge them. The decaying voltage was measured with a high-speed voltmeter for a period of 16.7 milliseconds, and the area a between the voltage curve and the horizontal axis in the unit cycle was obtained. Area B is the area when unattenuated. The voltage holding ratio is expressed by the percentage of the area a to the area B.
Refractive index anisotropy and dielectric loss at < 50GHz >)
The measurement was performed by the method disclosed in Applied Optics, vol.44, no.7, p1150 (2005). Regarding refractive index anisotropy, liquid crystal was filled in a V-band variable-length waveguide to which a window material was attached, and held in a static magnetic field of 0.3T for 3 minutes. A microwave of 50GHz was input to the waveguide, and the amplitude ratio of the reflected wave to the incident wave was measured. The direction of the static magnetic field and the tube length of the short-circuiting device are changed to measure, and the refractive index (ne, no) and the loss parameters (αe, αo) are determined. Refractive index anisotropy (Δn) is calculated from ne-no.
The complex dielectric constant (ε ', ε ") was used and calculated as dielectric loss (tan δ) =ε"/ε'. The complex permittivity is calculated using the calculated refractive index, loss parameter, and the following relational expression.
Here, c is the light velocity of the vacuum. Dielectric loss also exhibits anisotropy, and thus the recorded value is large.
