Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of liquid crystal materials technology, specifically to a liquid crystal composition, a liquid crystal display device, and its applications. In particular, it relates to a liquid crystal composition comprising a liquid crystal compound with terminal methyl alkenyl groups, a liquid crystal display device, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have experienced rapid development due to their small size, light weight, low power consumption, and excellent display quality, especially in portable electronic information products. With the increasing size of LCD screens used in portable computers, office applications, and video applications, LCDs have been able to be used for large-screen displays and have ultimately replaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays.

[0003] Liquid crystal materials are mixtures of small organic rod-shaped molecule compounds that exhibit both the fluidity of liquids and the anisotropy of crystals at certain temperatures. Liquid crystal display devices utilize the optical and dielectric anisotropy inherent in the liquid crystal materials themselves to function.

[0004] Compared to traditional display devices and materials, liquid crystal display (LCD) materials have significant advantages: low driving voltage, minimal power consumption, high reliability, large display information capacity, color display, flicker-free operation, no harm to the human body, automated production process, low cost, ability to be manufactured into various specifications and types of LCD displays, and portability. Due to these advantages, LCD technology has profoundly impacted the field of display imaging, promoting the development of microelectronics and optoelectronic information technology. Liquid crystal materials, with their excellent optical properties and photoelectric effects, have found widespread application in numerous display scenarios.

[0005] Compounds containing terminal alkenyl structures are a relatively novel class of liquid crystal monomer materials in recent years, with the advantage of fast response speed. Such liquid crystal monomer materials have been used in some typical applications of negative liquid crystal materials. However, compounds containing terminal alkenyl structures also have some disadvantages in application. If the proportion is too high, it will easily lead to a decrease in miscibility and affect the stability of low-temperature storage. At the same time, they have a low elastic constant, especially a low bending elastic constant, which in turn affects the contrast.

[0006] In the application of liquid crystal display devices, contrast ratio is crucial to visual effects. Generally speaking, the higher the contrast ratio, the clearer and more striking the image, and the more vivid and vibrant the colors; conversely, if the contrast ratio is low, the entire image appears hazy and dull. High contrast ratio greatly improves image clarity, detail, and grayscale performance. High-contrast products have advantages in terms of black-and-white contrast, clarity, and image integrity. Contrast ratio also significantly affects the display effect of dynamic video. Because the transitions between light and dark in dynamic images are relatively rapid, the higher the contrast ratio, the easier it is for the human eye to distinguish these transitions.

[0007] Meanwhile, to improve the response speed of liquid crystal display devices, it is necessary to minimize the rotational viscosity of the liquid crystal material. However, generally, low-viscosity liquid crystal materials have lower clearing points and optical anisotropy. Therefore, when formulating liquid crystal compositions, other performance requirements must be considered while reducing viscosity.

[0008] The formulation of liquid crystal compositions involves simultaneously adjusting many performance parameters of the liquid crystal composition. Adjusting one performance parameter of a liquid crystal composition without affecting the value of another is virtually impossible. Sometimes, adding a certain monomeric liquid crystal to adjust a certain performance parameter of the liquid crystal composition may be beneficial to one or more other properties, but may also be detrimental to the improvement of other properties. Therefore, how to obtain liquid crystal compositions that can completely or partially solve the above problems remains a pressing issue in the field. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a liquid crystal composition, a liquid crystal display device comprising the same, and their applications. Compared to existing technologies, the liquid crystal composition provided by the present invention maintains appropriate dielectric anisotropy, good optical anisotropy, and good clearing point, while also taking into account the performance advantages of compounds containing terminal methyl alkenyl structures. Furthermore, it possesses a large elastic constant, high transmittance, and low rotational viscosity, resulting in liquid crystal display devices comprising the same having faster response times, higher contrast ratios, and higher transmittance. This helps improve the display effect of liquid crystal materials, making it suitable for fast-response, high-transmittance, and high-contrast display modes such as IPS and FFS, and also applicable to displays in ultra-high contrast medical devices.
