Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of liquid crystal display, and more specifically, to a polymerizable compound, a liquid crystal composition containing the same, and a liquid crystal display device. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous progress and development of science and technology, liquid crystal display technology (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD) has attracted great attention. Compared with traditional display technology, TFT-LCD liquid crystal display not only has many advantages such as small size, light weight, low power consumption, easy to drive, but also can effectively make up for the shortcomings of traditional display technology. It is widely used in various consumer electronic products such as mobile phones, TVs, digital cameras, notebooks, desktop computers, etc.
[0003] Early commercial TFT-LCD products basically adopted the TN display mode, and its biggest problem was the narrow viewing angle. With the increase in product size, especially in the TV field, the IPS display mode and VA display mode with wide viewing angle characteristics were developed and applied one after another. In particular, the improvement based on the VA display mode has achieved breakthrough development in major companies. This is mainly due to the advantages of the VA mode itself, such as wide viewing angle, high contrast and no need for friction alignment. In addition, the contrast of the VA mode display is less dependent on the optical anisotropy of the liquid crystal (△n), the thickness of the liquid crystal box (d) and the wavelength (λ) of the incident light, which will surely make the VA mode a very promising display technology.
[0004] However, the liquid crystal medium used in the display elements of the active matrix addressing mode such as the VA mode is not perfect in itself. For example, the afterimage level is significantly worse than that of the display elements with positive dielectric anisotropy, the response time is relatively slow, and the driving voltage is relatively high. At this time, some new VA display technologies have emerged quietly: such as PSVA (Polymer stabilized vertically aligned) technology, which realizes a wide viewing angle display mode similar to MVA / PVA, simplifies the CF process, thereby reducing the CF cost while increasing the aperture ratio, and can also obtain higher brightness, thereby obtaining higher contrast. In addition, compared with other common liquid crystal modes (such as TN mode and IPS mode), the display device of the PSVA mode also has the advantages of good black state, fast response speed and high transmittance. It has been widely used in many scenarios, but it is still restricted in some fields. For example, in the petroleum, chemical, coal and other industries, the production environment often has problems such as high temperature and high humidity. The current PSVA display screen cannot work stably in these environments. For example, in the field of outdoor display screens, when PSVA display screens are used for commercial advertisements, traffic guides, city signs, sports events and other information displays, they are prone to IS problems (Image Sticking) due to various adverse climatic conditions. As an important component of PSVA, reactive monomers (RM, also known as polymerizable compounds) are the main reason for limiting the above-mentioned use. In these extreme environments, such as high temperature, low temperature, high and low temperature cycles, high temperature and high humidity, the stability of the polymers formed by RM will be problematic, further affecting its display effect.
[0005] The residual RM needs to be further reduced. Another problem in the production of PSVA displays is the presence or removal of residual amounts of unpolymerized RMs, especially after the polymerization step used to create the pretilt angle in the display. For example, such unreacted RMs may adversely affect the properties of the display by, for example, polymerizing in an uncontrolled manner during operation after the display is made, and there is a great need for small residual RM monomers after the UV process.
[0006] The diffusibility of RM needs to be further improved. For RM monomers, due to the requirements of enterprises for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, it is generally expected that its polymerization speed is as fast and controllable as possible, but if its diffusibility is poor, it is easy to cause explosion and form bright spots, which will affect the display effect of the panel. SAVA (Self-Alignment for Vertical Alignment) displays do not have conventional polyimide alignment films by using so-called self-alignment additives for vertical alignment. The liquid crystal medium involved in such displays generally contains a low molecular weight liquid crystal component, a self-alignment agent containing a polar anchoring group, and a polymerizable component (RM). The use of this RM component can stabilize the orientation of the liquid crystal medium and optionally establish the desired "pre-tilt". In order to make the final display panel display excellent, the self-alignment additive and RM need to be quickly and evenly dispersed on the substrate after the ODF (One Drop Filling) process, so as to achieve low concentration differences of monomers in different regions, avoid poor alignment effect or formation of bright spots in the corner area of the panel, and cause poor display. Both modes put forward higher requirements on the diffusibility of RM. Summary of the invention
[0007] Based on this, the object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition and a liquid crystal display device comprising the liquid crystal composition, so as to at least solve the above technical problems. In the molecular structure of the polymerizable compound provided in the present invention, a ring system is introduced into the structure of a straight-linked biphenyl or terphenyl polymerizable compound containing a tertiary alcohol branch to improve its molecular spatial structure and polymerization properties, and it does not have the above disadvantages (low stability of RM forming polymers in extreme environments; large RM residue; slightly poor RM diffusivity) or the degree of the above disadvantages is reduced. In particular, the polymerizable compound has the advantages of good diffusivity, high stability of forming polymers, and low residue after UV process. At the same time, after the liquid crystal composition formed by the polymerizable compound and the liquid crystal component is used in a liquid crystal display, it can ensure that the display has excellent IS performance after extreme conditions (high temperature, low temperature, high and low temperature cycle, high temperature and high humidity), reducing the risk of problems such as residual images in the final display.

[0230] In some examples, the liquid crystal display device is a PSVA or SAVA display.
[0231] The technical solution of the present invention is described below in conjunction with some specific embodiments:
[0232] In this manual, unless otherwise specified, percentages refer to mass percentages, temperatures are in degrees Celsius (℃), and the specific meanings of other symbols and test conditions are as follows:
[0233] Cp represents the clearing point of liquid crystal (℃), measured by DSC quantitative method;
[0234] Δn represents optical anisotropy, no is the refractive index of ordinary light, ne is the refractive index of extraordinary light, the test conditions are 25±2℃, 589nm, and Abbe refractometer test;
[0235] Δε represents dielectric anisotropy, Δε=ε ∥ -ε ⊥ , where ε ∥ is the dielectric constant parallel to the molecular axis, ε ⊥ is the dielectric constant perpendicular to the molecular axis, the test conditions are 25±0.5℃, 20 micron vertical box, INSTEC:ALCT-IR1 test;
[0236] K 11 is the splay elastic constant, K 33 is the bending elastic constant, the test conditions are: 25°C, INSTEC:ALCT-IR1, 20 μm vertical box;

[0238] UV2 time indicates the time of UV irradiation in PSVA process (min);
[0239] RM residual indicates the residual content (ppm). Under the same temperature and wavelength, the gradient method is used to detect the RM content. Instrument: Agilent1200;
[0240] The IS grade indicates the level of afterimage. After the PSVA test box with a thickness of 3.5 um is irradiated with UV1 and UV2 to form a pre-tilt angle of 88.5±0.2°, a short wave of 60Hz, an AC voltage of 19V and a DC voltage of 2V are applied to the test box, and the box is placed in different extreme conditions with backlight. After being treated for 500 hours respectively and released for 1 hour, the box is directly observed or observed with an ND filter at medium and low grayscales. Direct observation is best without IS. When observed with an ND filter, the larger the ND value, the better the IS grade. For example, ND10 is better than ND9. This solution considers that ND10 and no IS are both feasible.
[0241] Measurement of RM diffusivity (distribution behavior of additives): Fill the test box (8cm×4cm) with the test mixture. After the mixture is filled, slice the lower part of the test box (close to the filling opening, 4cm×4cm) and the upper part of the test box (opposite to the filling opening, 4cm×4cm). Under the same temperature and wavelength, the gradient method is used to detect the RM content in the lower and upper parts respectively. Instrument: Agilent1200. The quality of diffusivity is determined by the concentration difference. The concentration difference between the lower and upper parts Δ=lower RM content-upper RM content. The smaller Δ, the better its diffusivity. There are two types of diffusion test boxes. One is a test box with no PI on the upper and lower substrates (SAVA mode), and the other is a test box with NISSAN PI on the upper and lower substrates (PSVA mode).
[0242] The preparation method of the liquid crystal composition is as follows: each liquid crystal monomer is weighed according to a certain ratio and put into a stainless steel beaker, and the stainless steel beaker containing each liquid crystal monomer is placed on a magnetic stirring instrument to heat and melt. After most of the liquid crystal monomers in the stainless steel beaker are melted, a magnetic rotor is added to the stainless steel beaker, and the mixture is stirred evenly. After cooling to room temperature, the liquid crystal composition is obtained.

[0339] Comparative polymerizable compounds:
[0340] D1. D2,
[0341] D3.
[0342] The compositions and performance parameters of the compositions SLC-1, SLC-2 and SLC-3 are shown in Tables 3 and 4 below, respectively.

[0346]
[0347] Examples of polymerizable liquid crystal compositions:
[0348] The corresponding polymerizable liquid crystal compositions were prepared by adding 7 representative monomers of polymerizable compounds I-1-1 to I-41-2 to compositions SLC-1, SLC-2, and SLC-3, respectively, at a weight ratio concentration of 0.3%.
[0349] For comparison purposes, corresponding polymerizable liquid crystal compositions were prepared by adding prior art polymerizable compounds D1, D2 and D3 at a weight ratio concentration of 0.3% to liquid crystal compositions SLC-1, SLC-2 and SLC-3, respectively.
[0350] The structure of the self-aligning agent used in the Examples and Comparative Examples for the Diffusion Test without PI is shown below:
[0351]
[0352] As is known to all, the current SAVA mode display has no conventional polyimide alignment film, and the alignment effect is achieved by using the so-called self-alignment additive for vertical alignment. In order to more realistically simulate the diffusibility of RM in a test box without PI, a SAVA self-alignment agent having the above representative structure is added in both the embodiment and the comparative example, and the content of the self-alignment agent added is 1.0% by weight of the SLC composition.
[0353] Table 5 Diffusion data of the examples and comparative examples in the SLC-1 composition
[0354]
[0355] Table 6 Diffusion data of the examples and comparative examples in SLC-3 composition
[0356]
[0357] It can be seen from Table 5 and Table 6 that in the test boxes with PI and without PI, the diffusibility of the embodiments is better than that of the comparative examples. The diffusibility Δ of the embodiments is less than 30 ppm (with PI and without PI), while the diffusibility Δ of the comparative examples is more than 50 ppm (with PI and without PI), and the diffusibility Δ of D1 is even more than 70 ppm (with PI and without PI). Therefore, the polymerizable compounds involved have the advantage of good diffusibility, which means that the probability of the RM of the embodiments to explode and form broken bright spots in displays of different modes is greatly reduced, which is beneficial to improving the display effect of the display.
[0358] The extreme conditions in this experiment were low temperature treatment of -20℃ for 500h, high temperature treatment of 85℃ for 500h, high and low temperature cycle treatment for 500h (-20℃, 2.5h; 85℃, 2.5h; 100 cycles), and high temperature treatment of 85℃-humidity 85% (high temperature and high humidity) for 500h.

[0360]
[0361] Table 8 Performance parameters of the SLC-2 composition of the embodiments and comparative examples
[0362]
[0363] As can be seen from Tables 7 and 8, under the conditions of the same UV2 time of 90 min and the final pretilt angle of 1.5°, the residual RM of the polymerizable compound in each embodiment is basically below 20 ppm, while the residual of the comparative example is above 40 ppm, and the residual of D3 is even above 100 ppm. The polymerizable compound in each embodiment has a lower polymer residual than the polymerizable compound in the comparative example. The polymerizable compound of the present invention has low residual after the UV process, and having a lower polymer residual has a significant positive effect on improving the display effect of the display. From the IS data after low temperature aging, high temperature and high humidity aging, high temperature aging and high and low temperature cycling for 500h, it can be found that the IS of each RM monomer after high temperature and high humidity aging is the worst. This shows that under this condition, the stability of RM is relatively poor, but under each extreme condition, the IS performance of the liquid crystal composition of each embodiment is better than that of the comparative example, and the residual image level of the liquid crystal composition of each embodiment is above ND10 (ND10 or no IS), which greatly reduces the risk of residual image problems in the final display. From the perspective of chemical structure, when a cyclic group with electron-donating function is introduced into a straight-linked biphenyl polymerizable compound, the electron cloud density of the molecule increases due to the electron-donating effect, and the acrylate contained therein is more likely to undergo polymerization reaction, the polymerization reaction is faster and the residue is lower. Therefore, the polymerizable compound of the present invention can have the characteristics of low residue after UV process and excellent IS performance after extreme conditions on the basis of good diffusivity.
[0364] In summary, the present invention provides a polymerizable compound shown in formula I whose main ring contains a benzene ring condensation system and must contain a tertiary alcohol side chain structure, and a liquid crystal composition formed by combining this polymerizable compound with a specific liquid crystal component. The polymerizable compound has the advantages of good diffusivity and low residue after UV process. At the same time, for displays using it, it is ensured that they still have excellent IS performance after extreme conditions (high temperature, low temperature, high and low temperature cycles, high temperature and high humidity), reducing the risk of problems such as afterimages in the final display, and can provide a liquid crystal display device with better quality.

For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here.
