2k03 Properties of Fluorinated Liquid Crystal Materials for IPS-LCD

Abstract

The highly advanced liquid crystal materials having large Δε and low γ_1 are required for an IPS-LCD. We developed and presented fluorinated liquid crystal materials of fused ring systems. On the other hand, we have found that the compound with a 2,6-difluorophenyloxy group showed specially good properties. We present new fluorinated liquid crystal materials with a 5,6,7-trifluoronaphthalene ring as a terminal in a liquid crystal molecule.
