Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of liquid crystal materials, and specifically relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more specifically to a liquid crystal composition containing an olefinic benzothiophene compound and a liquid crystal display device. Background Art
[0002] Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) has developed rapidly due to its small size, light weight, low power consumption and excellent display quality, and has been widely used in portable electronic information products. As the size of LCD screens used in portable computers, office applications, and video applications increases, LCDs can be used for large-screen displays and eventually replace cathode ray tube (CRT) displays.
[0003] Compared with traditional display devices and display materials, liquid crystal display materials have obvious advantages: low driving voltage, low power consumption, high reliability, large amount of displayed information, color display, no flicker, no harm to the human body, automated production process, low cost, can be made into various specifications and types of liquid crystal displays, easy to carry, etc. Due to these advantages, liquid crystal display technology has had a profound impact on the display and imaging field, and promoted the development of microelectronics technology and optoelectronic information technology. Liquid crystal materials have been widely used in many display occasions due to their good optical properties and photoelectric effects. Therefore, the research on liquid crystal materials has become more and more in-depth.
[0004] With the widespread application of TFT LCD, the requirements for its performance are also constantly increasing. High display image quality requires faster response speed, lower energy consumption, and higher low-temperature reliability. In addition, higher contrast and transmittance are required, especially for IPS liquid crystal display mode. This means that liquid crystal materials need to have higher contrast and transmittance, higher elastic constant, higher dielectric constant and low-temperature reliability, and the improvement of these performances requires the improvement of liquid crystal materials.
[0005] According to the transmittance formula of IPS mode, T∝|Δε| / ε ⊥ (T represents transmittance, “∝” represents the “inverse proportional” relationship, ε ⊥ Indicates the dielectric constant perpendicular to the molecular axis). To increase the transmittance of liquid crystal, we can try to reduce the Δε of the liquid crystal medium, but generally the adjustment range of the driving voltage of the same product is limited. In addition, the liquid crystal molecules will tilt toward the Z axis under the action of the vertical component of the fringe electric field, causing their optical anisotropy to change. According to the formula (where χ is the angle between the optical axis of the liquid crystal layer and the optical axis of the polarizer, Δn is the optical anisotropy, d is the cell spacing, and λ is the wavelength) It can be seen that the effective Δn*d will affect T. If the transmittance of the positive liquid crystal is to be improved, increasing Δn*d can also be considered, but the delay design of each product is fixed.
[0006] On the other hand, based on the traditional IPS-LCD light leakage performance test, it was found that the main causes of light leakage problems in liquid crystal display devices are: light scattering (LC scattering), rubbing uniformity, color filter film leakage (CF / TFT scattering) and polarization ability. Among them, light scattering accounts for 63% of the factors affecting light leakage performance.
[0007] According to the following relationship: LC Scattering∝
[0008] Where d is the spacing of the liquid crystal cell, n e is the extraordinary refractive index, n o represents the ordinary refractive index.
[0009] To improve the light scattering of liquid crystal materials, it is necessary to increase the average elastic constant K ave (Among them, K ave =(K 11 +K 22 +K 33 ) / 3) to improve light scattering and increase K ave In this case, light leakage of the liquid crystal material can be reduced.
[0010] In addition, the relationship between contrast (CR) and brightness (L) is as follows:
[0011] CR=L 255 / L 0 ×100%,
[0012] Among them, L 255 is the on-state brightness, L 0 is the off-state brightness. It can be seen that the one that significantly affects CR should be L 0 In the off state, L 0 It has nothing to do with the dielectric properties of liquid crystal molecules, but is related to the LC Scattering of the liquid crystal material itself; the smaller the LC Scattering, the higher the L 0 The smaller it is, the higher the CR will be.
[0013] In view of the above situation, the common methods for improving contrast and transmittance can be considered from the following two aspects: (1) keeping the dielectric anisotropy Δε of the liquid crystal composition unchanged by increasing ε ⊥ It can effectively improve the transmittance; (2) increase the average elastic constant K of the liquid crystal composition ave The value of ε can make the liquid crystal molecules more orderly and leak less light, thereby improving the transmittance. ⊥ / △ε ratio is small, K ave The value is small, resulting in insufficient transmittance, slow response, poor low-temperature storage performance, etc. Therefore, how to provide a liquid crystal composition that can solve the above problems is still a technical problem to be solved in the art. Summary of the invention
[0014] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal display device.
