Title:
LIQUID CRYSTALLINE MEDIA HAVING HOMEOTROPIC ALIGNMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/015803
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The present invention relates to liquid crystalline media (LC media) having negative or positive dielectric anisotropy, containing a low-molecular-weight component and a polymerizable component. The polymerizable component comprises self-aligning, polymerizable mesogens (polymerizable self-orientation additives), which effect a homeotropic (vertical) alignment of the LC media on a surface or the cell walls of a liquid crystal display (LC display). Therefore, the invention also comprises FC displays having homeotropic alignment of the LC medium without orientation layers. The invention discloses novel structures for polymerizable self-orientation additives that have a certain position of the functional groups.
