Abstract

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the content ratio of polar and neutral compounds in a liquid crystal layer is controlled, or a coupling agent that is well adapted to those compounds is used as a material for a sealant, thereby stably maintaining the display quality of the liquid crystal display even at low temperatures.

Claims (37)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate facing the first substrate;

a pair of field generating electrodes disposed on at least one of the first and second substrates;

a sealant disposed on at least one of the first and second substrates; and

a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates,

wherein the sealant comprises a coupling agent represented by the following Formula 11:

2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises at least one of neutral compounds represented by the following Formulas 6 to 8:

3. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises about 28-32 wt % of the neutral compound represented by Formula 6.

4. The liquid crystal display of claim 3 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises about 5-10 wt % of the neutral compound represented by Formula 7.

5. The liquid crystal display of claim 4 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises polar compounds represented by the following Formulas 4 and 5:

and in Formulas 4 and 5, each of R 4 and R 5 , being the same or different from each other, are one of an alkyl group and an alkoxy group with a carbon number of 1 to 13.

6. The liquid crystal display of claim 5 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises a neutral compound represented by the following Formula 9:

and in Formula 9, each of R 6 and R 7 , being the same or different from each other, are one of an alkyl group and an alkoxy group with a carbon number of 1 to 13.

7. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises about 10-14 wt % of the neutral compound represented by Formula 8.

8. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises a polar compound represented by the following Formula 1, and at least one of polar compounds represented by the following Formulas 2 and 3:

and in Formulas 1 to 3, each of R 1 to R 3 , being the same or different from each other, are one of an alkyl group and an alkoxy group with a carbon number of 1 to 13.

9. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate facing the first substrate;

a pair of field generating electrodes disposed on at least one of the first and second substrates;

a sealant disposed on at least one of the first and second substrates; and

a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates,

wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises a neutral compound represented by the following Formula 6:

and the content of the neutral compound represented by Formula 6 is about 28-32 wt % of the liquid crystal layer.

10. The liquid crystal display of claim 9 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises further about 5-10 wt % of a neutral compound represented by the following Formula 7:

11. The liquid crystal display of claim 10 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises further polar compounds represented by the following Formulas 4 and 5:

and in Formulas 4 and 5, each of R 4 and R 5 , being the same or different from each other, are one of an alkyl group and an alkoxy group with a carbon number of 1 to 13.

12. The liquid crystal display of claim 11 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises further a neutral compound represented by the following Formula 9:

and in Formula 9, each of R 6 and R 7 , being the same or different from each other, are one of an alkyl group and an alkoxy group with a carbon number of 1 to 13.

13. The liquid crystal display of claim 9 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises further about 10-14 wt % of a neutral compound represented by the following Formula 8:

14. The liquid crystal display of claim 9 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises further polar compounds represented by Formulas 4 and 5:

and in Formulas 4 and 5, each of R 4 and R 5 , being the same or different from each other, are one of an alkyl group and an alkoxy group with a carbon number of 1 to 13.

15. The liquid crystal display of claim 9 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises further a compound represented by Formula 9:

and in Formula 9, each of R 6 and R 7 , being the same or different from each other, are one of an alkyl group and an alkoxy group with a carbon number of 1 to 13.

16. The liquid crystal display of claim 9 , wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises further a polar compound represented by the following Formula 1, and at least one of polar compounds represented by the following Formulas 2 and 3:

and in Formulas 1 to 3, each of R 1 to R 3 , being the same or different from each other, are one of an alkyl group and an alkoxy group with a carbon number of 1 to 13.
