Development of the Nematic Liquid Crystal Compounds Derived from Phenyl Acetylene Group with Large Birefringence

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

Novel liquid crystal compounds with extraordinary large birefringence have been studided from the viewpoint of optical anisotropy. A large birefrinence was obtained in the compounds compared with that in 5CB, while the orientational order parameters determined by FT-IR measurement are almost the same. From the calculated results of molecular polarizability, it is concluded that the large optical anisotropy is mainly caused by the electric anisotropy.
