Title:
LIQUID CRYSTAL COMPOSITION, LIQUID CRYSTAL ELEMENT CONTAINING THE SAME AND LIQUID DEVICE CONTAINING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3585184
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To obtain a liquid crystal composition suppressed in the reduction in a drive margin at a low-temperature region and undergoing no change in characteristics even when left standing at cryogenic temperatures by mixing two specified liquid crystal compounds with each other in a specified ratio.
CONSTITUTION: This composition is prepared by mixing 0.1-30wt.% each of liquid crystal compounds of formulas I and II (wherein R1 and R2 are each a 1-18C linear or branched alkyl; X1, X2 and X3 are each a single bond, O, a group of formula III or the like; X4 is a single bond, OCH2, a group of formula III or the like; A1 and A2 are each a group of formula IV, a group of formula V, a group of formula VI or the like; (n) is 1-10; and (m) is 3-16). It is desirable that this composition has chiral smectic C phase and that the tilt angle δ of the layer of the chiral smectic C phase has an adjusted value of 3-15° in the temperature range of 0-60°C. This composition can be desirably used in the production of a ferroelectric liquid crystal element, a ferroelectric liquid crystal device, a liquid crystal optical shutter, etc.
