Electro-optical Liquid Crystal Display and Liquid Crystalline Medium The invention relates to an electro-optical liquid crystal display with an electrode structure for the reorientation of the liquid crystalline medium which generates an electrical field with a component parallel to the liquid crystal layer which is sufficient to affect the switching of the liquid crystalline medium. The switching of the liquid crystalline medium takes place essentially in the plane of the liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystalline medium has a positive anisotropy of the dielectric permittivity and contains at least two mesogenic compounds of formula I wherein Ril is alkyl or alkoxy with 1 to 7 C-atoms or alkoxyalkyl with 2 to 7 C-atoms, preferably alkyl, R12 is alkenyl or alkenyloxy with 2 to 7 C-atoms, preferably alkenyl, Z1 is-CH2-CH2-or a single bond, preferably a single bond and n is 0 or 1.

In most conventional types of liquid crystal displays, like in TN, STN, OMI and AMD-TN displays, as well as in some more recently interesting displays like VAN (or ECB) and OCB displays electrical fields which are substantially perpendicular to the liquid crystal layer are used to switch the orientation of the liquid crystals.

For example WO 91/10936 discloses a liquid crystal display using an electrical fiels with a significant component parallel to the liquid crystal layer used to switch the liquid crystals mainly in the plane of the liquid

crystal layer called IPS from In Plane Switching. The principle of operation of liquid crystal displays with such an electrical field are described for example in R. A. Soref, Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 45, Nr. 12, S. 5466-5468 (1974).

Several possibilities for the design of the elecrtodes, as well as different ways of addressing of such displays are given e. g. in EP 0 588 568. Also DE 198 24 137 teaches different constructions of such IPS displays.

Liquid crystalline media for such IPS displays are described e. g. in DE 198 48 181 and in the non prepublished DE 100 19 061.

IPS displays of the state of the art have still severe shortcommings for several applications. One of the most severe problems is their long response times, which are significantly longer than those of e. g. TN or VAN displays. Besides the response times, which are too long, the operation voltages have to be improved. This means that they are too high for some applications. Obviously other requirements, like long operational life time, stability both for storage and operation at extreme temperatures (high as well as low) and under illumination have to be fulfilled at the same time. One constituent of such displays with a crucial influence on these performance criteria is the liquid crystal medium used. Thus, there is a strong demand for improved liquid crystalline media which do not show the disadvantages of the known materials, or at least do so only to a lesser extent. These, in particular, have to exhibit a sufficiently wide nematic phase range, a low tendency to crytallize at low temperatures, suitable values of the birefringence, in most cases preferably low values of the birefringence and a sufficiently high specific resistivity. Especially they have to show small threshold voltages (Vio) and small rotational viscosities (yi), leading to schort response times.

It has been found, that, surprisingly, this task can be solved by the use of liquid crystalline media having a positive anisotropy of the dielectric permittivity and containing at least two mesogenic compounds of formula I

wherein R11 is alkyl or alkoxy with 1 to 7 C-atoms or alkoxyalkyl with 2 to 7 C-atoms, preferably alkyl, R12 is alkenyl or alkenyloxy with 2 to 7 C-atoms, preferably alkenyl, Z1 is-CH2-CH2-or a single bond, preferably a single bond and n is0or1.

The liquid crystalline media according to the invention are characterized by their relatively high clearing points and their small rotational viscosities as well as their low threshold voltages.

A further topic of the invention is a liquid crystalline medium having a positive dielectric anisitropy containing two, three, four, five or more compounds of formula I and one or more compounds selected from the group of formulae Ila to llc, one or more compounds selected from the

group of formulae Illa to Illt and one or more compounds selected from the group of formulae Va to IVe, in particular a medium which contains - 22 to 70, preferably 26 to 60% of two or more compounds of formula la, - 0 to 45, preferably 5 to 35% of one or more compounds of formula Ib, - 0 to 45, preferably 5 to 35% of one or more compounds of formula II, - 5 to 50, preferably 15 to 40% of one or more compounds of formula 111, - 10 to 50, preferably 15 to 30% of one or more compounds of formula IV, - 0 to 30, preferably 5 to 20% of one or more compounds of formula V.

The media used according to the invention generally have a birefringence (An) at 20°C which is in the range from 0.060 to 0.150, preferably from 0.065 to 0.140 and most preferably from 0.070 to 0.130. The clearing points of the media preferably are in the range from 60°C to 110°C, more preferably from 65°C to 100°C and most preferably from 67°C to 90°C.

The rotational viscosity (γ1) of the media used according to the invention at 20°C is, as a rule 100 mua-s or less, preferably 90 mPa#s or less, more preferably 80 mPa#s or less and most preferably 70 mPa#s or less.

Obviously the rotational viscosity of the inventive liquid crystalline media is related to the clearing point and especially to the polarity, i. e. the dielectrical anisotropy, of the media. Thus for media with lower clearing points and for media with lower dielectrcal anisotropy lower rotational viscasities can be achieved. E. g. for media with a clearing point of 70°C and a dielectrical anisotropy of 12.5 or less a rotational viscosity of

85 mua-s or less, preferably of 80 mua-s or less most preferably of 75 mua-s or less is achieved, whereas for media with a clearing point of 70°C and a dielectrical anisotropy of 12 or less a rotational viscosity of 80 mua-s or less, preferably of 75 mua-s or less most preferably of 70 mPa#s or less is achieved and for media with a clearing point of 70°C and a dielectrical anisotropy of 7 or less a rotational viscosity of 75 mPa#s or less, preferably of 70 mPa#s or less most preferably of 60 mPa#s or less is achieved.

The specific resistance of the media according to the invention at20°C generally is in the range from 5X101° to 5 x 1013 D. cm, preferably from 5 x 1011 to 5 x 1012 Q. cm.

The liquid crystalline media used according to the invention are stable against storage in liquid crystal display test cells at-30°C for 1000 h or more, preferably at-40°C for 500 h or more and most preferably at-40°C for 1000 h or more.

The liquid crystalline media used according to the invention consist of 5 to 30 compounds, preferably of 6 to 20 compounds and most preferably of 7 to 16 compounds.

It has been found that a comparatively small amount of compounds of formula I in combination with known conventional mesogenic compounds, in particular with one or more compounds selected from the group of compounds of formulae Ila to llc, villa to Illt and IVa to IVe leads to very favourable low values of the rotational viscosity and to a low threshold voltage, while the range of the nematic phase is sufficiently broad for most applications. Especially the transitoin temperatures from the nematic phase to possible smectic phases are low. The compounds of formulae I to IV are colourless, stable an miscible with each other and with othe known liqiud crystalline compounds.

The term"alkyl"in this application comprises straight chain and branched alkyl groups with 1 to 7 carbon atoms, preferably the straight chain groups

methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl and n-heptyl. Groups with 2 to 5 carbon atoms are preferred, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

The term"alkenyl"in this application comprises straight chain and branched alkenyl groups with 2 to 7 carbon atoms, preferably the straight chain groups. Particularly preferred alkenylgroups are C2 to C7 1 E-alkenyl, C4 to C7 3E-alkenyl, C5 to C7 4-alkenyl, C6 to C7 5 alkenyl und C7 6-alkenyl, most preferred C2 to C7 1 E-alkenyl, C4 to C7 3E-alkenyl and C5 to C7 4- alkenyl. Exemplary alkenyl groups which are particularly preferred are vinyl, 1 E-propenyl, 1 E-butenyl, 1 E-pentenyl, 1 E-hexenyl, 1 E-heptenyl, 3E- butenyl, 3E-pentenyl, 3E-hexenyl, 3E-heptenyl, 4-pentenyl, 4Z-hexenyl, 4E-hexenyl, 4Z-heptenyl, 5-hexenyl and 6-heptenyl. Groups with up to 5 C atoms are preferred unless explicitly stated otherwise.

The term"alkoxyalkyl"in this application comprises preferably straigt chain groups of the formula CnH2n+1-O-(CH2) m, wherein n und m each are 1 to 6 and n+m is 2 to 7. Preferably m is 1 and n is 1 to 4.

Choosing Rn to R52 appropriately, the properties of the liquid crystalline media can be modified. Thus broad ranges of the nematic phase can be achieved and the response times, the threshold voltage and the steepness of the oelectro-optical characteristic can be adapted. E. g. 1 E-alkenyl groups, 3E-alkenyl groupd and 2E-alkenyloxy groups generally lead to shorter response times and more stable nematic phases. Shorter side chains, especially with one or two C aloms only also improve the response time significantly. The maximum concentration of compounds with such groups in the media, however is limited by the desired clearing point.

The optimal proportions of the compounds of formulae I to V depends largely on the desired properties of the medium, on the choice of the compounds of formulae I to V and on the choice of furthe optional compounds. Appropriate mixing ratios within the ranges given in this application can be easily determined.

The total ammount of compounds of formulae I to V in the media used according to the present invention is not very crucial. Preferably the media

contain 80 to 100% of compounds of formolae I to V. The media may also contain one or more additional compounds in order to optimize various properties. The effect of the media used according to the invention, however, especially on the response time, generally is larger, in case the total concentration of the compounds of formulae I to V, inparticular of compounds of formula 1.

In a particularly preferred embodiment the media used according to the present invention contain one or more compounds of formula IVc.

The liquid crystalline media which are used according to the present invention contain besides two or more compounds of formula I preferably three to 40 other compounds, particularly preferred four to 30 other compounds and most preferrably seven to 15 other compounds. These other compounds are preferrably selected from the group of nematic or nematogenic, preferably monotropic or isotropic, compounds.

The liquid crystalline media which are used according to the present invention contain besides two or more compounds of formula I preferably contain 38 to 67%, especially preferred 45 to 55% of compounds of formula 1. They contain preferrably three, four, five, six or more compounds of formula I The consruction of the electro-optical displays according to the present invention corresponds to the characteristic construction of an IPS-display as described e. g. in WO 91/10936 or EP 0 588 568. The term "characteristic construction"is construed rather braodly here and encompasses all known modificatoins of the IPS display, especially IPS displays driven by an active matrix and IPS displays with electrode structures with nonlinar electrodes and/or with non-constant electrode spacing in an individual pixel.

A significant difference of the displays according to the present inventon to thoose realized so far, however, is the choice of the composition and the properties of the liquid crystalline medium used.

The liquid crystalline media used according to the present invention are prepared by conventional methods. As a rule the required amounts of the compounds are successively dissolved in the compound or compounds used as the mjor constituent of the medium. This is done preferentially at elevated temperature in order to facilitate mixing of the compounds.

Further other known methods of preparation can be emplyed. E. g. the media can be prepared by mixing pre-mixtures, which may be mixtures of homologuous compounds or ready to use mixtures which can be costituents of so called, multi bottle systems".

The liquid crystalline media optionally contain further additives known to the expert. E. g. the media can contain 0% to 15%, preferably 0% to 10%, of pleochroic dyes and/or chiral dopants. The concentrations of the single compounds added are in the range from 0.01 % to 6%, preferably from 0.1 % to 3%. The concentrations of these additives are, however, not considered in the concentrations and ranges of the concentration ranges of the main compounds making up the media (i. e. of formulae I to V and of the optional compounds).

The satbility against storage at deep temperatures has been determined in sealed testcells with an optical retardation of approximately 0.5 um using CU-1511 of HDM (Hitachi DuPont Mico-Systems), Japan as orientation layer. Sets of five test cells each were sandwiched with crossed adhesive polarisers and stored in a temperature controlled environment at fixed temperatures of 0°C,-10°C,-20°C,-30°C and-40°C, respectively. After time intervals of 24 h each the cells were inspected visually for changes in appearance. The last time of storage for which no change in any one of the five test cells of a given set of test cells at a given temperature had been observed was given as the storage time at that temperature (tstore (T)).
