が得られることが明らかになって龜た。The display systems of liquid crystal display devices that are currently widely used in the market are the twisted nematic type ('rM) and the dynamic scattering type (DB). These are displays using nematic liquid crystal cells that mainly contain nematic liquid crystals, but one of the disadvantages of conventional nematic liquid crystal cells is the fact that the response speed is slow, and the maximum response speed can only be on the order of several i seconds. can be given. This is a factor that limits the range of applications of nematic liquid crystal cells. Recently, however, it has become clear that a smectic liquid crystal cell can provide a faster response.

Vol. 36, p. 899 (1980)] discovered a high-speed response on the microsecond order in the thin film cell of DOBAMBC, and this became an opportunity. By taking advantage of its high-speed response and memory properties, ferroelectric liquid crystals are used not only for displays such as LCD televisions, but also for parts of optoelectronic devices such as former printer heads, optical Fourier transform elements, and light pulp. It is attracting attention as a possible material. In ferroelectric liquid crystal cells, it is advantageous to use a material with a high dielectric constant and a large spontaneous polarization because the cell can be driven at high speed, so there is a desire to develop a material with a large spontaneous polarization.

として使用する場合に高速応答性が期待できる。The compound of the above general formula (RI) has a central skeleton having a benzoic acid ester structure, and also has long-chain substituents (preferably 4 to 18 carbon atoms) at both ends of the molecule, so it itself has a benzoic acid ester structure. It exhibits liquid crystallinity.In addition, in addition to the carbonyl group being directly bonded to the asymmetric carbon of this compound, the dipole moment of fluorine or chlorine acts transversely to the long axis of the molecule, resulting in high optical rotation. In addition, since the presence of multiple fluorine atoms causes a decrease in surface engineering energy, the resistance to domain rotation within the thin cell essential for ferroelectric liquid crystals is lower than that of non-fluorine compounds. It is expected that this will decrease, and when these factors are used together as a display element, high-speed response can be expected.

Domains are also allowed to be reversed. Other phase transition temperatures are shown in Table 1 below along with other columns. Note that the cry rt crystal state and SC rate are a ferroelectric chiral smectic C phase, which is a nasal phase that at least partially responds to the above electric field. 8A indicates the smectic A phase, Oh indicates the cholesteric phase, and H indicates the isotropic liquid phase.ま几・shows that the phase exists.
