Description

本発明は電気光学的液晶表示材料として有用な、トリフルオロナフタレン誘導体およびそれを含有する液晶組成物、さらにそれを用いた液晶表示素子に関する。   The present invention relates to a trifluoronaphthalene derivative useful as an electro-optical liquid crystal display material, a liquid crystal composition containing the same, and a liquid crystal display device using the same.

液晶表示素子は、低電圧作動、薄型表示等の優れた特徴から現在広く用いられている。従来の液晶表示素子の表示方式にはTN(ねじれネマチック)、STN(超ねじれネマチック)、又はTNをベースにしたアクティブマトリックス(TFT:薄膜トランジスタ)等があり、これらは誘電率異方性値が正の液晶組成物を利用するものである。しかし、これら表示方式の欠点の一つとして視野角の狭さがあり、近年高まっている液晶パネルの大型化の要求に伴い、その改善が大きな課題となっている。   Liquid crystal display elements are currently widely used because of their excellent features such as low voltage operation and thin display. Conventional liquid crystal display element display methods include TN (twisted nematic), STN (super twisted nematic), or active matrix (TFT: thin film transistor) based on TN, which has a positive dielectric anisotropy value. The liquid crystal composition is used. However, one of the disadvantages of these display methods is a narrow viewing angle, and with the increasing demand for larger liquid crystal panels in recent years, the improvement has become a major issue.

この解決策として近年、垂直配向方式、IPS(インプレインスイッチング)等の表示方式が新たに実用化されてきた。垂直配向方式は液晶分子の垂直配向を利用して視野角の改善を図った方式であり、誘電異方性値が負の液晶材料が使用される。またIPSは、ガラス基板に対して水平方向の横電界を用いて液晶分子をスイッチングさせることで視野角の改善を図った方法であり、誘電異方性値が正又は負の液晶材料が使用される。このように、視野角改善のために有効な表示方式である垂直配向方式及びIPSには誘電率異方性値が負である液晶材料が必要であり、強く要望されるようになってきた。   In recent years, display methods such as vertical alignment and IPS (in-plane switching) have been newly put to practical use as a solution. The vertical alignment method is a method in which the viewing angle is improved by utilizing the vertical alignment of liquid crystal molecules, and a liquid crystal material having a negative dielectric anisotropy value is used. IPS is a method of improving viewing angle by switching liquid crystal molecules using a horizontal electric field in the horizontal direction with respect to a glass substrate, and a liquid crystal material having a positive or negative dielectric anisotropy value is used. The As described above, the vertical alignment method and IPS, which are effective display methods for improving the viewing angle, require a liquid crystal material having a negative dielectric anisotropy value, and have been strongly demanded.

絶対値の大きい負の誘電率異方性を有する化合物としてトリフルオロナフタレン誘導体が有り、多くの化合物を含む一般的な開示は既にされている(特許文献1参照)。しかし、トリフルオロナフタレン骨格の製造は必ずしも容易ではなく、当該引用文献においては開示する全ての範囲で化合物が開示されているとは認められない。さらに、当該引用文献は強誘電性液晶組成物に使用することを念頭に置いており、誘電率異方性が負のネマチック液晶組成物として広い開示範囲のどの化合物を具体的に使用し、どの様な化合物を併用し又その効果がどの様なものであるかについての開示は無い。   There is a trifluoronaphthalene derivative as a compound having a large absolute value and negative dielectric anisotropy, and a general disclosure including many compounds has already been made (see Patent Document 1). However, the production of the trifluoronaphthalene skeleton is not always easy, and it is not recognized that the compound is disclosed in the entire range disclosed in the cited document. Further, the cited document is intended for use in ferroelectric liquid crystal compositions, and which compounds in a wide disclosure range are specifically used as nematic liquid crystal compositions having a negative dielectric anisotropy. There is no disclosure of the use of such compounds and what their effects are.

ところで、すべての表示方式にて用いられる液晶材料は、適切な誘電異方性値のみならず、その他の特性、例えば屈折率異方性値、弾性定数比といった諸物性も適切に調整されている必要があり、さらに適切な液晶相発現温度範囲を持ち、低温においても低粘度であることなどが要求される。これまで公知の液晶化合物の中で、単独でこれらの条件を全て満たすものはなかった。従って、通常液晶材料は、数種類から二十数種類の液晶相を有する化合物及び必要により更に数種類の液晶相を有しない化合物を混合して調製されている。通常の液晶材料には環構造を2〜4つ含む、いわゆる2環性、3環性および4環性の液晶性化合物が用いられるが、概して環の数が増加するに従って製造工程が複雑となる。それに加え、一般に環の数が増加するに従って、化合物の粘度は上昇するという問題も有していた。一方、環構造が1つである単環性の化合物は、2〜4環性の液晶化合物に比べて製造工程は複雑ではなく、粘度も低いと予想されるが、これまでのところ液晶材料への応用例はほとんど知られておらず、開発が遅れていた。   By the way, liquid crystal materials used in all display systems are appropriately adjusted not only with appropriate dielectric anisotropy values but also with other properties such as refractive index anisotropy values and elastic constant ratios. It is necessary to have a suitable liquid crystal phase expression temperature range and low viscosity even at a low temperature. Until now, none of the known liquid crystal compounds satisfy all of these conditions alone. Therefore, the liquid crystal material is usually prepared by mixing a compound having several to twenty or more kinds of liquid crystal phases and, if necessary, a compound not having several kinds of liquid crystal phases. In general liquid crystal materials, so-called bicyclic, tricyclic, and tetracyclic liquid crystalline compounds containing 2 to 4 ring structures are used, but generally the manufacturing process becomes more complicated as the number of rings increases. . In addition, generally, the viscosity of the compound increases as the number of rings increases. On the other hand, a monocyclic compound having a single ring structure is not complicated in production process and is expected to have a low viscosity as compared with a bi- to tetracyclic liquid crystal compound. There are few known applications of, and development has been delayed.
