Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nematic liquid crystal composition having a positive dielectric anisotropy ( ⁇ ) useful as a liquid crystal display material, and a liquid crystal display device using the same.
- Liquid crystal display elements are used in various measuring instruments, automobile panels, word processors, electronic notebooks, printers, computers, televisions, watches, advertisement display boards, etc., including clocks and calculators.
- Typical liquid crystal display methods include TN (twisted nematic) type, STN (super twisted nematic) type, vertical alignment type using TFT (thin film transistor), and IPS (in-plane switching) type.
- the liquid crystal composition used in these liquid crystal display elements is stable against external stimuli such as moisture, air, heat, light, etc., and exhibits a liquid crystal phase in the widest possible temperature range centering on room temperature. And a low driving voltage is required. Further, the liquid crystal composition is composed of several to several tens of kinds of compounds in order to optimize the dielectric anisotropy ( ⁇ ) and / or the refractive index anisotropy ( ⁇ n) for each display element. Yes.
- a liquid crystal composition having a negative ⁇ is used, and in a horizontal alignment type display such as a TN type, STN type, or IPS (in-plane switching) type, a liquid crystal composition having a positive ⁇ . Is used.
- a driving method in which a liquid crystal composition having a positive ⁇ is vertically aligned when no voltage is applied and a horizontal electric field is applied for display has been reported, and the necessity of a liquid crystal composition having a positive ⁇ has further increased. Yes.
- low voltage driving, high-speed response, and a wide operating temperature range are required in all driving systems.
- ⁇ is positive, the absolute value is large, the viscosity ( ⁇ ) is small, and a high nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature (Tni) is required.
- Tni nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature
- Examples of the composition of a liquid crystal composition aimed at high-speed response include, for example, a compound represented by the following formula (A-1) or (A-2) below, in which ⁇ is a positive liquid crystal compound, and ⁇ is neutral:
- a liquid crystal composition using a combination of compounds represented by the following formula (B), which is a liquid crystal compound, is disclosed.
- the characteristics of these liquid crystal compositions are that a liquid crystal compound having a positive ⁇ has a —CF 2 O— structure, and a liquid crystal compound having a negative ⁇ has an alkenyl group. These characteristics are widely known in the field of this liquid crystal composition (see Patent Documents 1 to 4).
- liquid crystal display elements has been expanded, and there has been a significant change in the method of use and manufacturing method. In order to cope with these changes, it has become necessary to optimize characteristics other than the basic physical property values as conventionally known. That is, liquid crystal display elements using a liquid crystal composition are widely used, such as VA type and IPS type, and super large size display elements having a size of 50 type or more are put into practical use. It became so. As the substrate size increased, the method of injecting liquid crystal compositions into the substrate also changed, and the drop injection (ODF: One Drop Drop Fill) method became the main injection method from the conventional vacuum injection method. However, the problem that the drop marks when the liquid crystal composition is dropped on the substrate causes the display quality to deteriorate has been brought to the surface.
- ODF Drop Drop Drop Fill
- the liquid crystal display element manufacturing process by the ODF method it is necessary to drop an optimal amount of liquid crystal according to the size of the liquid crystal display element.
- the drop amount deviation increases from the optimum value, the balance between the refractive index and the driving electric field of the liquid crystal display element designed in advance is lost, and display defects such as spots and poor contrast occur.
- small liquid crystal display elements frequently used in smartphones that have recently become popular are difficult to control the deviation from the optimal value within a certain range because the optimal liquid crystal dripping amount is small. Therefore, in order to maintain a high manufacturing yield of the liquid crystal display element, the liquid crystal composition is less affected by, for example, a sudden pressure change or impact in the dropping device that occurs when the liquid crystal is dropped, and is continuously stable over a long period of time. Therefore, it must be dripping.
- the conventional characteristics and performances required for the liquid crystal display element such as high-speed response performance are maintained, and importance is conventionally attached.
- development in consideration of a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element has been demanded.
- the problems to be solved by the present invention include a liquid crystal phase in a wide temperature range, low viscosity, good solubility at low temperatures, high specific resistance and high voltage holding ratio, and stability against heat and light.
- a liquid crystal composition having a positive ⁇ which is capable of producing a liquid crystal display element having excellent display quality, which is less prone to display defects such as image sticking and dripping marks, and a liquid crystal composition using the liquid crystal composition. It is to provide a liquid crystal display device.
- the present inventors have studied various liquid crystal compounds and various chemical substances, and found that the above problems can be solved by combining specific liquid crystal compounds, and have completed the present invention. That is, the first aspect of the present invention is the following liquid crystal composition, and the second aspect of the present invention is the following liquid crystal element.
