[0195] The formula of the liquid crystal composition and the corresponding properties are shown in Table 12 below.
[0196] Table 12 Formulation and corresponding properties of the liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 2
[0197]
[0198] Compared to Example 1, the liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 1 does not contain the compound represented by Formula I. Instead, equal amounts of the compounds CPU-3-F, CPU-4-F, and CCPU-3-F are used to replace DPU-3-F, DPU-4-F, and CDPU-3-F, respectively. The liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 1 exhibits a significant decrease in Δε compared to the liquid crystal composition of Example 1, requiring a higher voltage for complete driving and consuming more power.
[0199] As is known to all, only when two liquid crystal compositions have the same or similar dielectric anisotropy Δε and the same driving voltage, can the comparative transmittance be meaningful. Compounds CPU-3-F, CPU-4-F, and CCPU-3-F were used to replace the compound represented by Formula I in Example 1, and the compound content was adjusted to form Comparative Example 2, so that the Δε of the liquid crystal composition in Comparative Example 2 was the same as that in Example 1. However, ε ⊥ decreases, resulting in ε ⊥ / Δε ratio is reduced. Because the transmittance of the liquid crystal composition is related to ε ⊥ / Δε ratio is positively correlated. On the basis of keeping the dielectric anisotropy Δε the same or similar, ε ⊥ The larger the ratio of Δε / Δε, the greater the transmittance of the liquid crystal composition. Therefore, the transmittance of the liquid crystal composition of Example 1 is greater than that of the liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 2, which is more conducive to improving the brightness of the liquid crystal display.
[0200] Comparative Example 3
[0201] The formula of the liquid crystal composition and the corresponding properties are shown in Table 13 below.
[0202] Table 13 Formulation and corresponding properties of the liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 3
[0203]
[0204] Compared with Example 1, the liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 3 does not contain the compound represented by Formula II, and the compounds CPP-3-2 and CPP-5-2 are used to replace CPP-1V-2 and CPP-3-2V1 in equal amounts, respectively. ⊥ , Cp, γ1 are basically the same, but the optical anisotropy Δn, splay elastic constant K 11 Therefore, the response speed of the liquid crystal display infused with the liquid crystal composition of Example 1 is faster than that of the liquid crystal display infused with the liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 3.
[0205] Comparative Example 4
[0206] The formula of the liquid crystal composition and the corresponding properties are shown in Table 14 below.
[0207] Table 14 Formulation and corresponding properties of the liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 4
[0208]
[0209] Compared with Example 1, the liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 4 does not contain the compound represented by Formula III, and compounds PY-3-O2 and CPY-3-O2 are used to replace Sb-2O-O5, Sc-2O-O4, and Sc-2O-O5. The liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 3 is substantially the same as that of the liquid crystal composition of Example 1 in terms of Δε, Cp, γ1, and Δn, except that ε ⊥ Therefore, the transmittance of the liquid crystal composition of Example 1 is greater than that of the liquid crystal composition of Comparative Example 4, which is more conducive to improving the brightness of the liquid crystal display.
[0210] Table 15 below shows the transmittance test data of the liquid crystal compositions of Example 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4.
[0211] Table 15 Transmittance test data of liquid crystal compositions of Example 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4
[0212]
[0213]
[0214] The liquid crystal compositions of the embodiment and comparative examples were driven by a voltage of 3.5V and tested using a test cell with a cell thickness of 3.0μm. Since the dielectric anisotropy of comparative example 1 is small, a higher voltage is required to fully drive it, consuming more power, and the 3.5V voltage cannot fully drive it, so the transmittance is very low. Compared with comparative examples 2 and 4, the vertical dielectric constant and ε of embodiment 1 are ⊥ / Δε ratio is larger, and the transmittance is higher. ⊥ The ratio of Δε is similar, so the transmittance is similar. Improving the transmittance is conducive to fully utilizing the backlight and increasing the brightness of the LCD panel, and it is also conducive to reducing the backlight brightness and reducing energy consumption.
[0215] Table 16 below shows the reliability test data of the liquid crystal compositions of Examples and Comparative Examples.
[0216] The reliability of liquid crystal compositions in the production of liquid crystal display elements or liquid crystal displays is assessed through UV aging tests and VHR tests. The smaller the change in VHR data before and after the UV test, the stronger the UV resistance of the liquid crystal composition. Therefore, the UV resistance of the examples and comparative examples was determined by comparing the changes in VHR data before and after the test.
[0217] The reliability of liquid crystal compositions during operation can be assessed through backlight aging tests and VHR testing. Under prolonged backlight irradiation, liquid crystal compositions are exposed to visible light, UV light, and temperatures of 60-70°C for extended periods, subjecting them to environmental damage. The smaller the change in VHR data before and after the backlight test, the greater the liquid crystal composition's resistance to environmental damage. Therefore, the resistance to environmental damage can be assessed by comparing the changes in VHR data before and after the test for each example and comparative example.
[0218] First, before conducting the UV and backlight aging tests, the VHR data of the liquid crystal composition is measured as initial VHR data. Then, the liquid crystal composition is subjected to the UV and backlight aging tests, and the VHR data of the liquid crystal composition is measured again after the tests.
[0219] Ultraviolet aging test: The liquid crystal composition was poured into a corresponding test box and irradiated with 5000 mJ of energy under an ultraviolet lamp with a wavelength of 365 nm.
[0220] Backlight test: Pour the liquid crystal composition into the corresponding test box, seal it, and place it on a backlight with a light intensity of 25,000 nits for a backlight aging test. After aging for 1,000 hours, perform a VHR test.
[0221] The smaller the change in the VHR data after the aging test relative to the initial VHR data, the stronger the liquid crystal composition's ability to resist damage from the external environment, and therefore, the higher the reliability of the liquid crystal composition.
[0222] In addition, the liquid crystal compositions of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were poured into a liquid crystal test box and subjected to a residual image test. The test results are shown in Table 16 below.

[0225] It can be seen from Table 16 above that the VHR of the liquid crystal composition of the embodiment of the present invention decreases less after exposure to ultraviolet light and backlight, has high resistance to ultraviolet light and high temperature, and has no obvious afterimage problem.
[0226] Table 17 below shows the experimental data of low temperature storage of the liquid crystal compositions of Examples and Comparative Examples.
[0227] Low-temperature storage experiments were conducted using 5ml glass bottles and 4μm liquid crystal test cells. 1ml of each of the Example and Comparative Example liquid crystal compositions was placed in a 5ml glass bottle for the first low-temperature storage experiment. The Example and Comparative Example liquid crystal compositions were then poured into a liquid crystal test cell for the second low-temperature storage experiment. The glass bottles filled with the liquid crystal compositions were placed in a -20°C glove box, while the liquid crystal test cells filled with the compositions were placed in glove boxes at -20°C and -30°C, respectively.

[0231] It can be seen from Table 17 above that the liquid crystal composition of the embodiment of the present invention has a wider nematic phase temperature range.

The liquid crystal display element and liquid crystal display of the present invention, by incorporating the aforementioned liquid crystal composition of the present invention, exhibit high brightness, low energy consumption, a wide operating temperature range, and good reliability.
