Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If conventional liquid crystal compositions are used, then the display device can operate, but the transmittance is low and power consumption is high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the molecular parameters of liquid crystal compounds by introducing dibenzo derivatives with specific structural features (carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds at specific positions). This modifies the dielectric constant perpendicular to the molecular axis (ε⊥) and the ratio ε⊥/|Δε|, enabling higher transmittance and lower power consumption simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite liquid crystal composition by combining dibenzo derivatives (compounds of general formula I) with other liquid crystal compounds (general formula II). This composite approach achieves synergistic effects that improve both transmittance and reduce power consumption compared to conventional single-component systems
2Illumination intensity
If conventional liquid crystal compositions are used, then the display device can operate, but the contrast is limited due to high light leakage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the optical parameters of the liquid crystal composition by incorporating dibenzo derivatives that enhance the average elastic constant (Kave). According to the relationship LC Scattering ∝ 1/Kave, this reduction in light scattering directly reduces light leakage in the off-state, thereby improving contrast
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the previously harmful light scattering effect into a beneficial outcome by increasing the average elastic constant through dibenzo derivative incorporation. The same molecular modifications that increase Kave also reduce LC scattering, thereby converting what was a limitation into an advantage for improving contrast
