Abstract

LIQUID CRYSTAL COMPOSITION

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A nematic liquid crystal composition comprising at least one of the compounds of the formula,

Description

~06~3096 This invention relates to a novel nematic composition for use in a liquid crystal display device.
The liquid crystal display device is an electro-optical display device which diffuses or modulates light rays from a light source by utilizing a thin layer of a nematic state composition in which the molecules are arranged in a specific pattern.
This device comprises a first light-transmissible sub~
strate material, a first light-transmissible and electrically conductive coating applied on the first substrate material, a second substrate material, and a second light-transmissible and electrically conduc-tive coating applied on the second substrate material. -; 15 The device, as generally known, is so constructed that when a voltage is applied between said conductive coatings placed facing each other with a gap between them, said gap having been filled with a nematic liquid crystal composition, the latter undergoes a change in its molecular arrangement, resulting in velocity difference between the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ~-ay of `` incident light, change in the amount of light absorbed, and scattering of light due to the current flowing through said nematic liquid crystal composition.
"! 25 An optical display device, amont these known ''1 .
examples, has employed a nematic liquid crystal which ~
was developed for use in an electro-optical liquid -:
crystal display device operable at temperatures (about 25C) prevailing usually in residential structures.
There has been a strong demand, on the ., ' j~ ' :
~ .~

~ ~068096 other hand, for a nematic liquid crystal material which may remain in nematic state in a wider temperature range, because such a material would enlarge the : operable temperature range of an optical display device, leading to exploitation of new application fields for the electro-optical liquid crystal display device.
This invention is based on the finding that a number of specific compounds among bis(4'-n~-alkylbenzal)-2-methyl-1,4~phenylenediamines, R ~ CH=N ~ N=CH ~ R, and bis(4'-n-:~ CH3 alkylbenzal)-2-chloro-1,4-phenylenediamines, ~ .

R~ CH=N ~ N-CH ~ R (R represents an ;~ Cl . alkyl group) remain in the nematic state at tempera-tures in wide ranges and that a composition containing as one of the components at least one of said specific compounds also remains in the nematic ~tate in a wide .. temperature range.
Thus, according to the present invention there is provided a nematic liquid crystal composition comprising at least one of the compounds having the formula ~-:;:
: ,, Y ~ CH~N ~ N=CH ~ Y

". ~
. 2 '~

' 1068096 wherein X is methyl or chlorine and Y is a normal - CnH2n+l group wherein n is an integer of 2 to 8, and at least one of the compounds selected from the group consisting of the compounds having the general formula, CH=N ~} R2 ~ (A) : ~
,.': ':

0 R 0 ~ CH=N ~ R4 and (B) 3 ~ CH=N ~_~} 0-C- (CH2) 2CH3 ~ (C) CH30 ~CH=N ~} C- (CH2) 2CH3 ' (D) O ; ?
,~ .
wherein in the compound A, Rl is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and R2 is an alkyl group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms;
and in the compound B, R3 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon `atoms and R4 is an alkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms.
j~Before disclosing the invention in further detail, the :
procedure for synthesizing the present novel compounds is given ~

The resulting solution was refluxed for 4 hours, while removing :~ the azeotropically distilled water by means of a Dean-Stark trap. Thereafter, the solvent was removed from the reaction mix-ture by distillation by use of a rotary evaporator. The distilla-tionresidue was collected and purified by repeated recrystalli-aztion from ethyle alcohol until a constant melting point was attained to obtain bis(4'-ethylbenzal)-2-methyl-1,4-phenylene- ~ :

There is scarcely any single compound which re-mains in nematic liquid crystal state over a wide temperature range, including near room temperatures. Accordingly, attempts have been made to achieve this object by a mixture of two or more compounds.
According to this invention, there is provided compositions which remain in nematic state over a wide tempe-- rature range and, in addition, at temperatures in the neighbor-hood of room temperature, by mixing the present novel nematic liquid crys~ 1 compound with other compounds in a suitable `;
proportion. Such compositions are very useful as liquid crystal material for use in electro-optical liquid crystal display devices.
By way of illustration, but not by way of limita-tion, Examples of compositions according to this invention are listed below.
