Abstract

The present invention relates to liquid-crystalline media (LC media) having negative or positive dielectric anisotropy, comprising a low-molecular-weight component and a polymerizable component. The polymerizable component comprises self-aligning, polymerizable mesogens (polymerizable self-alignment additives) which effect homeotropic (vertical) alignment of the LC media at a surface or the cell walls of a liquid-crystal display (LC display). The invention therefore also encompasses LC displays having homeotropic alignment of the LC medium without alignment layers. The invention discloses novel structures for self-alignment additives which have a certain position of the functional groups.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to liquid-crystalline media (LC media) having negative or positive dielectric anisotropy, comprising low molecular weight components and polymerizable components. The polymerizable component comprises self-aligning, polymerizable mesogens (polymerizable self-aligning additives), which affect the homeotropic (vertical) alignment of the LC medium at the surface or cell wall of a liquid crystal display (LC display). The invention therefore also encompasses LC displays with homeotropic alignment of the liquid crystal medium (LC medium) without an alignment layer. The present invention discloses new structures for polymerizable self-aligning additives with position-specific functional groups. Background technique [0002] The principle of electrically controlled birefringence, the ECB effect or the DAP (Alignment Phase Deformation) effect was first described in 1971 (M.F.Schieckel and K.Fahrenschon, "Deformation of nematic liquid crys...
