Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is the National Stage of International Application No. PCT/CN2018/107280, filed Sep. 25, 2018, which claims the benefit of Chinese Application No. 201710893675.7, filed Sep. 28, 2017, the contents of which is incorporated by reference herein.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of liquid crystal display material, particularly to a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal display device having the same.


BACKGROUND ARTS

Based on the displaying mode of liquid crystal molecules, a liquid crystal display device can be classified into the types of PC (phase change), TN (twisted nematic), STN (super twisted nematic), ECB (electrically controlled birefringence), OCB (optically compensated bend), IPS (in-plane switching), VA (vertical alignment), FFS (fringe field switching), FPA (field-induced photo-reactive alignment) and the like. Based on the driving mode of the device, it is classified into the types of PM (passive matrix) and AM (active matrix). PM is classified into the static type, multiplex type and so forth, and AM is classified into TFT (thin film transistor) type, MIM (metal insulator metal) type and so forth. TFT is classified into amorphous silicon and polycrystal silicon. The latter is classified into a high-temperature type and a low-temperature type according to the manufacturing steps. Based on the types of the light source, it is classified into a reflection type utilizing a natural light, a transmission type utilizing a backlight and a semi-transmission type utilizing both the natural light and backlight.


A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal composition having a nematic phase. The composition has appropriate characteristics. An AM device having good characteristics can be obtained via improving the characteristics of the composition. The correlation between the characteristics of AM device and characteristics of composition is summarized in Table 1 below. The characteristics of the composition are further illustrated based on a commercially available AM device. The temperature range of a nematic phase is associated with the workable temperature range of the device. A desirable upper limit temperature of the nematic phase is 70° C. or higher, and a desirable lower limit temperature of the nematic phase is −10° C. or lower. The viscosity of the composition is associated with the response time of the device. A short response time of the device is desirable for displaying dynamic images in the device. It is desirable to have a response time shorter than 1 millisecond. Therefore, a small viscosity of the composition is desirable. A small viscosity of the composition at a low temperature is more desirable.

A liquid crystal composition with a low power consumption and a fast response is disclosed in the prior art such as patent literature CN102858918A, however, there are problems in the prior art such as environmental issues (such as the use of chlorine-containing compounds), short service life (such as poor UV or heat stability), low contrast (such as whitening of the display screen in daylight), and inability to give consideration to the equilibrium among properties such as an appropriate dielectric anisotropy, a higher optical anisotropy, a higher clearing point, a high contrast and a good intersolubility required in LCD TVs, tablet PCs and the like (i.e., the inability to meet all indexes simultaneously).


From the perspective of the preparation of liquid crystal materials, various properties of liquid crystal materials are mutually restrained, and the improvement of a certain property index may cause changes in other properties. Therefore, it often requires creative endeavour for preparing liquid crystal materials with various suitable properties.
