Liquid crystal composition and liquid crystal display element
Provided are a polymerizable compound represented by formula I and a liquid crystal composition formed by combining such a polymerizable compound with a specific liquid crystal component, particularly a PSVA liquid crystal composition for displays or TV applications and a PSA-IPS liquid crystal composition for an IPS mode; in particular, the polymerizable compound has a faster polymerization rate, and a “material system” formed from the selected polymerizable component and liquid crystal component has a low rotary viscosity and good photoelectric properties, and has a high VHR after (UV) photoradiation, this avoiding the problem of the occurrence of residual images to final displays.
1. A polymerizable liquid crystal compound represented by formulas I-1 to I-18:
wherein
each S independently represents H, a C1-C5 alkyl group, a C1-C5 alkoxy group, a fluorine-substituted C1-C5 alkyl group, a fluorine-substituted C1-C5 alkoxy group, F or Cl, wherein any one CH 2 or several CH 2 that are not adjacent may be independently replaced by —O—, —S—, —CO—, —CH 2 O—, —OCH 2 —, —COO—, —OOC— or an acrylate group or a methacrylate group;
each P independently represents
each Sp independently represents a single bond, a C1-C5 alkyl group, a C1-C5 alkenyl group, wherein any one CH 2 or several CH 2 that are not adjacent may be replaced by —O—, —S—, —CO—, —CH 2 O—, —OCH 2 —, —COO—, —OOC— or an acrylate group; and
each o independently represents 0, 1, 2 or 3.
2. The liquid crystal compound according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula I-1 to I-18 is a compound represented by formulas I-1-1 to I-17-6 below:
