Description

EXAMPLES

[0521] The present invention is illustrated in detail by the following non-restrictive working examples.

[0522] The following abbreviations and symbols are used:

TABLE-US-00009 V.sub.0 threshold voltage, capacitive [V] at 20° C., n.sub.e extraordinary refractive index at 20° C. and 589 nm, n.sub.o ordinary refractive index at 20° C. and 589 nm, Δn optical anisotropy at 20° C. and 589 nm, ε.sub.⊥ dielectric permittivity perpendicular to the director at 20° C. and 1 kHz, ε∥ dielectric permittivity parallel to the director at 20° C. and 1 kHz, Δ.sub.ε dielectric anisotropy at 20° C. and 1 kHz, cl.p., T(N,I) clearing point [°C], γ.sub.1 rotational viscosity at 20° C. [mPa.sub..Math.s], K.sub.1 elastic constant, “splay” deformation at 20° C. [pN], K.sub.2 elastic constant, “twist” deformation at 20° C. [pN], K.sub.3 elastic constant, “bend” deformation at 20° C. [pN].

[0523] Unless explicitly noted otherwise, all concentrations in the present application are quoted in per cent by weight and relate to the corresponding mixture as a whole, comprising all solid or liquid-crystalline components, without solvents.

[0524] Unless explicitly noted otherwise, all temperature values indicated in the present application, such as, for example, for the melting point T(C,N), the transition from the smectic (S) to the nematic (N) phase T(S,N) and the clearing point T(N,I), are quoted in degrees Celsius (°C). M.p. denotes melting point, cl.p. = clearing point. Furthermore, C = crystalline state, N = nematic phase, S = smectic phase and I = isotropic phase. The data between these symbols represent the transition temperatures.

[0525] All physical properties are and have been determined in accordance with “Merck Liquid Crystals, Physical Properties of Liquid Crystals”, Status November 1997, Merck KGaA, Germany, and apply for a temperature of 20° C., and Δn is determined at 589 nm and Δε at 1 kHz, unless explicitly indicated otherwise in each case.

[0526] The term “threshold voltage” for the present invention relates to the capacitive threshold (V.sub.0), also known as the Freedericks threshold, unless explicitly indicated otherwise. In the examples, the optical threshold may also, as generally usual, be quoted for 10% relative contrast (V.sub.10).

[0527] Unless stated otherwise, the process of polymerising the polymerisable compounds in the PSA displays as described above and below is carried out at a temperature where the LC medium exhibits a liquid crystal phase, preferably a nematic phase, and most preferably is carried out at room temperature.

[0528] Unless stated otherwise, methods of preparing test cells and measuring their electrooptical and other properties are carried out by the methods as described hereinafter or in analogy thereto.

[0529] The display used for measurement of the capacitive threshold voltage consists of two plane-parallel glass outer plates with a distance of 25 .Math.m, each of which has on the inside an electrode layer and an unrubbed polyimide alignment layer on top, which effect homeotropic alignment of the liquid-crystal molecules.

[0530] The display or test cell used for measurement of the tilt angles consists of two plane-parallel glass outer plates at a separation of 4 .Math.m, each of which has on the inside an electrode layer and a polyimide alignment layer on top, where the two polyimide layers are rubbed antiparallel to one another and effect a homeotropic edge alignment of the liquid-crystal molecules.

[0531] The polymerisable compounds are polymerised in the display or test cell by irradiation with UV light of defined intensity for a prespecified time, with a voltage simultaneously being applied to the display (usually 10 V to 30 V alternating current, 1 kHz). In the examples, unless indicated otherwise, a fluorescent lamp and an intensity of 0 to 20 mW/cm.sup.2 is used for polymerisation. The intensity is measured using a standard meter (Ushio Accumulate UV meter with central wavelength of 313 nm).

[0532] The transmission measurements are performed in test cells with fishbone electrode layout (from Merck Ltd., Japan; 1 pixel fishbone electrode (ITO, 10x10 mm, 47.7° angle of fishbone with 3 .Math.m line/3 .Math.m space), 3.2 .Math.m cell gap, AF-glass, tilt angle 1°).
