FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the liquid crystal field, and particularly relates to a liquid crystal composition and use thereof in the liquid crystal display field.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, liquid crystal has been widely applied in the information display field, and has also made some progress in optical communication applications. In recent years, the application field of liquid crystal compounds has been significantly broadened to various types of display devices, electro-optical devices, electronic components, sensors and the like. Nematic liquid crystal compounds have been most widely used in flat panel displays, particularly in TFT active matrix systems.


Liquid crystal display has gone through a long path of development since the discovery of liquid crystals. Particularly since the seventies, due to the development of large-scale integrated circuits and liquid crystal materials, the application of liquid crystals has made a breakthrough development in terms of display. Super Twisted Nematic (STN) mode proposed successively by T. Scheffer et al. in 1983-1985 and an Active Matrix (AM) mode proposed by P. Brody in 1972 were re-adopted. Conventional TN-LCD technology has been developed into STN-LCD and TFT-LCD technologies. Although the number of STN scanning lines can reach 768 or greater, there are still problems, such as response speed, viewing angle and gray scale, when the temperature rises. Therefore, for a large area, high information content, color display, an active matrix display mode becomes the first choice.


There are two types of “active matrix” including: 1. a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) on a silicon wafer as a substrate; and 2. a thin film transistor (TFT) on a glass plate as a substrate.


Monocrystalline silicon as a substrate material limits the display size due to the fact that there were many problems occurring at junctions of each part of a display device or even a module assembly. Accordingly, the second type of thin film transistor is a promising active matrix type. The photoelectric effect utilized is generally the TN effect. A TFT includes a compound semiconductor, such as CdSe, or a TFT based on polycrystalline silicon or amorphous silicon.


Currently, the LCD product technologies have been well established and successfully solved technical problems regarding the viewing angle, resolution, color saturation, brightness, etc., and the display performance thereof has been close to or superior to that of CRT displays. Large-size and small-to-medium-size LCDs have gradually dominated the flat panel displays in respective fields. However, due to the limitation of (the high viscosity of) the liquid crystal material itself, the response time becomes a principal factor affecting high-performance displays.


In particular, the response time of a liquid crystal is limited by the rotational viscosity γ1 and the elastic constant of the liquid crystal. Therefore, reducing the rotational viscosity of a liquid crystal composition and increasing the elastic constant have a significant effect on reducing the response time of the liquid crystal display and accelerating the response speed of the liquid crystal display.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition, and the liquid crystal composition has a low rotational viscosity and a large elastic constant, and is presented as having a shorter response time, so that the problem of the slow response of the liquid crystal display is effectively solved.


In order to achieve the above object, the following technical solution is specifically adopted:

The technical features of the invention lie in: since compounds of type I have a strong dielectric anisotropy, compounds of type II have a large optical anisotropy, and compounds of type IV have a high clearing point and a large K-value characteristic, the use of these three types of compounds can adjust the physical parameter properties of the liquid crystal composition; moreover, the compounds of type III have a significant effect in reducing the viscosity of the system and increasing the response speed, and are a class of compounds that are essential for formulating fast-response liquid crystal mixtures. The combined use of the above-mentioned compounds can effectively reduce the rotational viscosity of the mixed liquid crystal, improves related properties of the mixed liquid crystal, and thus reduces the response time thereof.

In addition, the liquid crystal composition can effectively improve the contrast characteristics of IPS and FFS liquid crystal displays. Therefore, the liquid crystal composition provided by the present invention is suitable for fast-response TN, IPS and FFS-type TFT liquid crystal display devices, and is particularly suitable for IPS and FFS liquid crystal display devices.

example 2









Upon comparison, it can be seen that, as compared with comparative example 2, the liquid crystal composition provided in example 9 has a low rotational viscosity and a large elastic constant, and therefore has a shorter response time and a faster response speed.


Although the present invention has been described in detail with general explanations and specific embodiments, it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made thereto based on the present invention. Therefore, all these modifications and improvements which can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention belong to the scope claimed in the invention.


INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

The liquid crystal composition provided by the present invention simultaneously contains a 2-methyl-3,4,5-trifluorophenyl compound, an acetylenic compound and a non-polar bicyclic compound, has a low viscosity, high resistivity, suitable optical anisotropy, large elastic constant and excellent light stability and thermal stability, and can reduce the response time of the liquid crystal display, thereby solving the problem of a slow response speed of the liquid crystal display. In addition, the liquid crystal composition can effectively improve the contrast characteristics of IPS and FFS liquid crystal displays. Therefore, the liquid crystal composition provided by the present invention is suitable for fast-response TN, IPS and FFS-type TFT liquid crystal display devices, and has broad application prospects and a good industrial applicability in the liquid crystal display field.
