Due to excellent processability of the POSS-dendron-structured liquid crystal compound according to the present invention, it is possible to coat and print on the compound and, also, to manufacture large size flexible devices. According to the present invention, it is possible to maximize the physical bond strength between liquid crystals and, thus, to form higher-order structures by controlling the physical bond strength. Since the POSS-dendron-structured liquid crystal compound of the present invention introduces non-functional groups to inorganic chemicals in contrast to the conventional liquid crystals, the compound disperses well into general types of solvents. In addition, the chemical and mechanical properties of the compound of the invention, such as increase of maximum allowable temperature, inhibition of oxidation, increase of surface hardness, etc., improves since polysilsesquioxane includes reactive or non-reactive organic compounds. When the POSS-dendron-structured liquid crystal compound of the invention is used as an additive for liquid crystal layers, it can enhance the orientation of liquid crystal molecules. Moreover, the POSS part of the added liquid crystal compound of the invention may move to the lower surface of the liquid crystal layer and, then, improves the orientation.

The invention relates to a polymer film having negative optical dispersion, novel polymerisable compounds and liquid crystal (LC) materials for its preparation, and the use of the polymer film and novel compounds and materials in optical, electrooptical, electronic, semiconducting or luminescent components or devices.

Provided is a liquid crystal composition. The liquid crystal composition includes 1 to 50 wt % of an achiral smectic liquid crystal, and a remaining amount of a nematic liquid crystal. The nematic liquid crystal includes a negative nematic liquid crystal.

Nonlinear optical chromophore compositions which display lyotropic nematic liquid crystal phases in polar organic solvents and provide a mechanical anisotropic effect allowing for the formation of a non-centrosymmetric chromophore-polymer matrix without the application of an electric field.
