Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of liquid crystal display technology, and more specifically, to a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal display element and a liquid crystal display comprising the liquid crystal composition. Background Art
[0002] With the development of display technology, LCD panels have been integrated into our daily lives, and the future development direction of LCD displays also directly affects people's quality of life.
[0003] PSVA display is the main display mode of TV display, and domestic related companies are mainly engaged in PSVA display panels. However, with the continuous development of technology, how to gain advantages in technology optimization and cost reduction is an important direction for the future development of panel manufacturers. In terms of technology optimization: 1) PSVA technology needs to continue to optimize materials and process technology to improve market competitiveness; 2) Continue to improve viewing angle and color performance: By improving pixel electrode design, such as 8-domain structure, to improve color deviation, improve viewing angle breadth and color accuracy, approaching or surpassing FFS-type horizontal alignment technology; 3) High resolution and diversified applications: Continue to develop towards 8K and above resolutions to meet the needs of professional and consumer markets, while exploring applications in emerging markets such as wearable devices, AR / VR, etc.; 4) Environmental protection and sustainability: Reduce the use of hazardous substances and increase recycling rates.
[0004] Providing new PSVA technology to reduce customer processes and promote green manufacturing and circular economy has become the focus of new LCD research. We know that in addition to liquid crystal materials, display panels also have PI materials that provide orientation for liquid crystals. If certain compounds are added to liquid crystals, they can play the role of PI. Technology that can achieve PI less will become a key breakthrough in future technologies.
[0005] Features of PI-less technology for liquid crystal: PI-less technology achieves self-alignment of liquid crystal by eliminating PI (polyimide) related processes. This not only reduces production costs, but also improves production efficiency. In the application of PSVA products, PI-less technology can well improve the problem of dark clusters on curved screens and has broad application prospects. In addition, the successful application of this technology has also broken the foreign technology monopoly and has had a significant impact on the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream industrial chains.
[0006] Although PIless technology has many advantages, there are still some problems in practical applications. For example, how to ensure the stability and reliability of the panel when there is no PI on both sides, how to stably diffuse the alignment agent after dripping into the panel, how to ensure the thickness of the film layer at different positions, the particle size of RM after polymerization, the stability of the pretilt angle and the polymerization temperature of the polymer determine the high temperature tolerance of the liquid crystal, and the frame glue curing will have a high temperature baking after the LCD panel is assembled into a box, the purpose is to make the frame glue more completely cured, but at this time the RM and alignment agent in the liquid crystal cannot react. If the reaction is premature, it may form broken bright spots and may also affect the subsequent normal UV process. These are all problems that need to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal display element and a liquid crystal display comprising the liquid crystal composition. When the liquid crystal composition is used in a liquid crystal display element or a liquid crystal display, it can form a good alignment effect and ensure the uniformity of the film thickness at different positions. At the same time, after the polymerization reaction, the particle size of RM is moderate, and the pretilt angle formed has a good stable alignment ability.

[0338] The preparation method of the liquid crystal composition of the present invention is as follows:
[0339] Weigh each liquid crystal monomer according to the required ratio and put it into a stainless steel beaker. Place the stainless steel beaker containing each liquid crystal monomer on a magnetic stirring device to heat and melt. After most of the liquid crystal monomers in the stainless steel beaker are melted, add a magnetic rotor to the stainless steel beaker, stir the mixture evenly, and obtain a liquid crystal composition after cooling to room temperature.

In Table 10, the mass percentages of the compound represented by formula I and the compound represented by formula II to IV are all relative to the content of the composition C in the liquid crystal composition.
[0399] Table 10 Examples 1-15 and Comparative Examples 1-8
[0400]
[0401] The alignment effect is observed by observing the alignment of liquid crystal molecules on the surface of the display panel after the liquid crystal composition is dripped into the display panel. The alignment condition includes the light transmittance in the dark state when no power is applied. The smaller the light leakage when no power is applied, the better the alignment effect of the alignment agent; the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules after power is applied, the better the alignment effect if no dark lines or other poor arrangement are formed.
[0402] The thickness of the film formed after the polymerization of the self-aligning agent and RM: Generally, the thickness of the film formed by PI is about 100nm, so the film thickness of the self-aligning agent is equivalent to the thickness of PI for the best effect. The diffusion of the self-aligning agent after dripping into the panel in the liquid crystal composition determines the thickness of the film formed at different positions. The better the uniformity of the film thickness formed at different positions, the better the diffusion of the self-aligning agent. If the film thickness is not uniform, there will be differences in the display brightness at different positions of the display panel, affecting the display effect of the display panel.
[0403] The aging of the pretilt angle includes two processes: UV illumination process and backlight powered aging process. The pretilt angle data is recorded after UV irradiation is completed; the pretilt angle data is recorded after the backlight is powered on and aged for a fixed time. The operation of this experiment: UV1 irradiation for 60s, UV2 irradiation for 90 minutes, and the pretilt angle is recorded; the pretilt angle data is recorded after the backlight is powered on and aged for 168h; the final pretilt angle change data is equal to the pretilt angle data after aging minus the pretilt angle data before aging. The size of the pretilt angle will affect the voltage size when the liquid crystal molecules rotate, resulting in afterimages; for example: when the pretilt angle is 1.1°, the panel brightness is 100nit at 5V voltage, and when the pretilt angle is 1.8°, the panel brightness is 110nit at 5V voltage. Changes in the pretilt angle will affect the brightness of the panel, resulting in a difference between the designed brightness and the actual brightness, resulting in afterimages.
[0404] The VHR test is to pour the liquid crystal composition into the test piece for testing. VHR stands for voltage holding rate (%). The test conditions are 60±1℃, voltage is ±5V, pulse width is 10ms, and voltage holding time is 1.667ms. The test equipment is TOYO Model6254 liquid crystal performance comprehensive tester.
[0405] 130℃ conversion rate test method: Polymer high temperature polymerization temperature test method: Take 1g of the prepared liquid crystal composition into a 7ml sample bottle, put it in a 130℃ oven, leave it for 2h, and measure the change of the self-alignment agent content. Test equipment: Machine Instrument: Agilent1200.

[0407]
[0408] Compared with the comparative examples, the liquid crystal composition of the present invention has poor uniformity of film thickness at different positions in comparative example 1; comparative example 2 cannot form alignment and has poor reliability; comparative examples 3 and 7 have poor uniformity of film thickness at different positions; comparative examples 4 and 5 have poor alignment effects, poor uniformity of film thickness at different positions and unstable pretilt angles; comparative example 6 has poor uniformity of film thickness at different positions and poor high-temperature stability of the polymer; comparative example 8 has poor alignment effects, poor uniformity of film thickness at different positions, unstable pretilt angles and poor stability of the polymer. Therefore, the technical solution of the present invention can effectively avoid the problems of dust particles, static electricity residue, residue, brush marks and so on caused by the friction alignment type alignment layer, which reduce the yield of liquid crystal display devices. It can not only form a good alignment effect, but also ensure the uniformity of film thickness at different positions. The high-temperature stability of the polymer is good, which can effectively avoid the polymerization reaction of the polymer during the curing process of the frame glue. At the same time, the particle size of RM after the polymerization reaction is moderate, and the pretilt angle formed has good stable alignment ability. The liquid crystal display using the orientation film has good reliability, a wider viewing angle range, and can effectively improve display defects.

It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here. All obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
