〔化合物等の物性の測定方法〕
物性の測定は後述する測定方法で行った。これらの多くは、日本電子機械工業会規格(Standard of Electric Industries Association of Japan)EIAJ・ED-2521Aに記載された方法、またはこれを修飾した方法である。また、測定に用いたTN素子またはVA素子には、TFTを取り付けなかった。
以下(1)、および(2)の方法で測定を行った。
(1)偏光顕微鏡を備えた融点測定装置のホットプレート(メトラー社FP-52型ホットステージ)に化合物を置き、3℃/分の速度で加熱しながら相状態とその変化を偏光顕微鏡で観察し、相の種類を特定した。
(2)パーキンエルマー社製走査熱量計DSC-7システム、またはDiamond DSCシステムを用いて、3℃/分速度で昇降温し、試料の相変化に伴う吸熱ピーク、または発熱ピークの開始点を外挿により求め(on set)、転移温度を決定した。
偏光顕微鏡を備えた融点測定装置のホットプレート(メトラー社FP-52型ホットステージ)に、試料(液晶組成物、または化合物と母液晶との混合物)を置き、1℃/分の速度で加熱しながら偏光顕微鏡を観察した。試料の一部がネマチック相から等方性液体に変化したときの温度をネマチック相の上限温度とした。以下、ネマチック相の上限温度を、単に「上限温度」と略すことがある。
母液晶と化合物とを、化合物が、20重量%、15重量%、10重量%、5重量%、3重量%、および1重量%の量となるように混合した試料を作製し、試料をガラス瓶に入れる。このガラス瓶を、-10℃または-20℃のフリーザー中に一定期間保管したあと、結晶もしくはスメクチック相が析出しているかどうか観察をした。
E型回転粘度計を用いて測定した。
測定はM. Imai et al., Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, Vol. 259, 37 (1995) に記載された方法に従った。2枚のガラス基板の間隔(セルギャップ)が20μmのVA素子に試料(液晶組成物、または化合物と母液晶との混合物)を入れた。この素子に30ボルトから50ボルトの範囲で1ボルト毎に段階的に印加した。0.2秒の無印加のあと、ただ1つの矩形波(矩形パルス;0.2秒)と無印加(2秒)の条件で印加を繰り返した。この印加によって発生した過渡電流(transient current)のピーク電流(peak current)とピーク時間(peak time)を測定した。これらの測定値とM. Imaiらの論文、40頁の計算式(8)とから回転粘度の値を得た。なお、この計算に必要な誘電率異方性は、下記誘電率異方性で測定した値を用いた。
測定は、25℃の温度下で、波長589nmの光を用い、接眼鏡に偏光板を取り付けたアッベ屈折計により行なった。主プリズムの表面を一方向にラビングしたあと、試料(液晶組成物、または化合物と母液晶との混合物)を主プリズムに滴下した。屈折率(n∥)は偏光の方向がラビングの方向と平行であるときに測定した。屈折率(n⊥)は偏光の方向がラビングの方向と垂直であるときに測定した。光学異方性(Δn)の値は、Δn=n∥-n⊥の式から計算した。
誘電率異方性は以下の方法によって測定した。
よく洗浄したガラス基板にオクタデシルトリエトキシシラン(0.16mL)のエタノール(20mL)溶液を塗布した。ガラス基板をスピンナーで回転させたあと、150℃で1時間加熱した。2枚のガラス基板から、間隔(セルギャップ)が20μmであるVA素子を組み立てた。
誘電率異方性の値は、Δε=ε∥-ε⊥の式から計算した。
測定に用いたTN素子はポリイミド配向膜を有し、そして2枚のガラス基板の間隔(セルギャップ)は6μmである。この素子は試料(液晶組成物、または化合物と母液晶との混合物)を入れたあと紫外線によって重合する接着剤で密閉した。このTN素子にパルス電圧(5Vで60マイクロ秒)を印加して充電した。減衰する電圧を、高速電圧計で16.7ミリ秒のあいだ測定し、単位周期における電圧曲線と横軸との間の面積Aを求めた。面積Bは減衰しなかったときの面積である。電圧保持率は面積Bに対する面積Aの百分率(%)で表現したものである。
測定には株式会社東陽テクニカ製のEC-1型弾性定数測定器を用いた。2枚のガラス基板の間隔(セルギャップ)が20μmである垂直配向セルに試料を入れた。このセルに20ボルトから0ボルト電荷を印加し、静電容量および印加電圧を測定した。測定した静電容量(C)と印加電圧(V)の値を『液晶デバイスハンドブック』(日刊工業新聞社)、75頁にある式(2.98)、式(2.101)を用いてフィッティングし、式(2.100)から弾性定数の値を得た。
