DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following describes the implementation of the technical solution of the present application. It should be understood that the following implementation is only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, and is therefore only used as an example and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0017] [Positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition]

[0018] The positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition of the present invention contains a positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal compound, which is composed solely of at least one compound represented by Formula I and at least one compound represented by Formula II. That is, the positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal compound contained in the positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition of the present invention is at least one compound represented by Formula I and at least one compound represented by Formula II, and does not contain any other positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal compounds other than the compounds represented by Formula I and Formula II.

[0019]

[0020] In formula 1, R1 represents an alkenyl group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and q and p each independently represent 0 or 1;

[0021] In formula II, R2 represents an alkenyl group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms.

[0022] The positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition of the present invention may contain, in addition to the aforementioned positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition, a compound having neutral dielectric anisotropy. Alternatively, the positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition of the present invention may further contain a compound having negative dielectric anisotropy.

[0023] Dielectric anisotropy is the main parameter of the behavior of liquid crystal molecules in an electric field. / / , ε ⊥ represent the dielectric constants of the liquid crystal parallel and perpendicular to the molecular orientation, respectively. The dielectric anisotropy can be expressed as Δε=ε / / -ε ⊥Δε>0 is called positive dielectric anisotropy, and Δε<0 is called negative dielectric anisotropy. Under the action of an external electric field, liquid crystal molecules with positive dielectric anisotropy align along the field direction, while liquid crystal molecules with negative dielectric anisotropy align perpendicular to the field direction.

[0024] Generally, there are two methods for measuring dielectric constant: magnetic field method and electric field method. The magnetic field method is to make liquid crystal molecules undergo Freedericksz transformation under the action of magnetic field. Under the action of magnetic field, the direction of the director of positive liquid crystal rotates to be consistent with the direction of magnetic field. By calculating the capacitance, the ε under perpendicular magnetic field is measured. ⊥ When parallel to ε / / , calculate Δε. The electric field method is similar to the method under the action of a magnetic field, in that the liquid crystal molecules rotate under the action of an electric field. Measure the empty cell capacitance Co of the parallel cell and measure C at low voltage. ⊥ , then add a high voltage to make the liquid crystal molecules align with the electric field, and measure C / / , and then use C / / The linear relationship between C and 1 / V at high voltage is used to deduce Co and calculate ε. / / , ε ⊥ and Δε.

[0025] The "alkenyl group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms" represented by R1 may be a linear or branched alkenyl group, preferably a linear alkenyl group.

[0038]

[0039] By adopting such a combination, the positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal compound portion is composed only of these compounds. Since the end groups of these compounds are all 2E-pentenyl, the formulation system is simplified, the impurities introduced into the system are greatly reduced, the purity of the obtained mixed crystal is higher, and the production steps of the mixed crystal are reduced, the production process is simpler and more efficient, and the production cost is greatly reduced.

[0040] In some embodiments, the positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition optionally further comprises one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the following formulae III-1 to III-7 as compounds with neutral dielectric anisotropy.

[0041]

[0042]

[0043] Among them, R 11 、R 12 Each independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms, or an alkenyloxy group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms.

[0044] The aforementioned "alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms" may be a linear alkyl group, a branched alkyl group, or a cycloalkyl group, and is preferably a linear alkyl group. Examples of the aforementioned linear alkyl group include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, and n-pentyl. Methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl is preferred.

[0045] Examples of the "alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms" include methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, n-butoxy, and n-pentoxy. Preferred are methoxy, ethoxy, and n-propoxy.

[0046] The aforementioned "alkenyl group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms" may be a linear alkenyl group or a branched alkenyl group, preferably a linear alkenyl group. Examples of linear alkenyl groups include vinyl, 1E-propenyl, 2E-propenyl, 1E-butenyl, 2E-butenyl, 3E-butenyl, 1E-pentenyl, 2E-pentenyl, and 3E-pentenyl.

[0048] In some embodiments of the positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition, in addition to the aforementioned positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal compounds and compounds with neutral dielectric anisotropy, negative dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal compounds may optionally be contained. For example, in some embodiments, optionally, the positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition may further contain one or more liquid crystal compounds with negative dielectric anisotropy, but the liquid crystal composition as a whole still displays positive dielectric anisotropy. By also including a compound with negative dielectric anisotropy (-Δε) in the positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition, the transmittance and other properties of the liquid crystal composition with positive dielectric anisotropy (+Δε) can be improved. For example, in the case of using a positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal composition in the FFS display mode, the transmittance is proportional to the perpendicular dielectric ε. ⊥ The ratio of dielectric anisotropy Δε is:

[0049] T∝ε ⊥ / Δε;Δε=ε ∥ -ε ⊥

[0050] Where T represents transmittance, ε ⊥ represents the vertical dielectric, ε ∥ represents parallel dielectric.

[0051] From the above formula, it can be seen that increasing the vertical dielectric ε of the liquid crystal composition ⊥ It is beneficial to increase the transmittance of liquid crystal displays. Negative dielectric anisotropy compounds have high vertical dielectric constants. Adding negative dielectric anisotropy liquid crystal components can effectively increase the vertical dielectric constant of the liquid crystal system, thereby effectively increasing the transmittance of liquid crystal displays.

[0173] By comparing the embodiment with the comparative example 1, it can be seen that the liquid crystal composition of the embodiment has a lower G1λK than that of the comparative example 1. 11 Since the response speed of the LCD panel is proportional to G1 / K 11 Therefore, when the liquid crystal composition of the embodiment is used in a liquid crystal display, a response speed improved compared with that of Comparative Example 1 can be obtained. In addition, compared with Comparative Example 1, the liquid crystal composition of the embodiment has a higher ε ⊥ / Δε value, and transmittance T∝ε ⊥ / Δε, therefore, when used in a liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal composition of the embodiment can obtain a higher transmittance than that of Comparative Example 1. In addition, compared with Comparative Example 1, the liquid crystal composition of the embodiment also has a higher VHR value, therefore, compared with Comparative Example 1, the liquid crystal composition of the embodiment can obtain better ultraviolet radiation resistance.
