[0357] The mixture contains compound CCG-V-F of formula G.

[0358] The mixtures N11 to N13 and N21 according to the present invention contain a positive polar compound of formula G having a terminal 3,4-difluorophenyl group. In contrast thereto, the reference mixtures C11 to C14 and C21 do not contain a compound of formula G. Instead these reference mixtures do either not contain any positive polar compound at all (C11, C21), or contain a positive polar compound CCP-3F.F.F or DLGU-3-F with a terminal 3,4,5-trifluorophenyl group (C12, C14), or a positive polar compound CCP-3OCF.sub.3 with a terminal 4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl group (C13).

[0359] White Flicker

[0360] The white flicker values of the above mixtures were measured at 25° C., 10 Hz in UB-FFS test cells. The flicker level was determined for voltages at grey levels 64, 127 and in the fully switched state V100 (corresponding to grey level 255).

[0361] Table 1 shows the results for mixtures C11 to C14 and N11 to N13, which were formulated to achieve the physical parameter target values cl.p.˜75° C., Δn˜0.11, Δε˜−3.4.

TABLE-US-00018 TABLE 1 Mixture Positive polar Flicker at Flicker at Flicker at No. compound GL64 [%] GL127 [%] V100 [%] C11 None 2.9 1.6 3.8 C12 CCP-3F.F.F 3.0 2.0 3.6 C13 CCP-3OCF.sub.3 3.4 1.9 3.7 C14 DLGU-3-F 3.2 1.6 4.4 N11 CCG-V-F 2.7 1.5 2.6 N12 CCG-3-F 2.9 1.7 2.7 N13 CCQG-3-F 3.0 1.7 2.9

[0362] From Table 1 it can be seen that the mixtures N11 to N13 according to the present invention which contain a compound of formula G show significantly reduced flicker at V100, compared to the reference mixtures C11 to C14 which do not contain a compound of formula G.

[0363] Table 2 shows the results for the mixtures C21 and N21, which were formulated to achieve the physical parameter target values cl.p.˜75° C., Δn˜0.125, Δε˜−2.2.

TABLE-US-00019 TABLE 2 Mixture Positive polar Flicker at Flicker at Flicker at No. compound GL64 [%] GL127 [%] V100 [%] C21 None 8.2 4.8 12.4 N21 CCG-V-F 6.3 3.3 8.2

[0364] From Table 2 it can be seen that the mixture N21 according to the present invention which contains a compound of formula G shows significantly reduced flicker at all grey levels, compared to the reference mixture C21 which does not contain a compound of formula G.

[0365] The results demonstrate that the use of compounds of formula B and/or C in combination with compounds of formula G in dielectrically negative LC mixtures allows to reduce the flicker level while maintaining low viscosities and thus enabling short response times.
