LIQUID-CRYSTAL PHASE CONTAINING A DOPANT AGENT HAVING A TEMPERATURE-COMPENSATING EFFECT

摘要

1. A twistable liquid crystal phase containing at least one chiral compound exhibiting helix inversion and at least one further chiral compound having a high twisting capacity, which contains, as the chiral compound exhibiting helix inversion, esters of mesogenic carboxylic acids and the chiral compound butane-2,3-diol and/or propane-2,3-diol, where the chiral centers at the carbon atoms 2 and 3 may furthermore be interrupted by an alkylene group, wherein the chiral compound having a high twisting capacity has a product (p.c) of <8 mu m. % by weight and weight ratio of the compound(s) exhibiting helix inversion to that (those) having a high twisting capacity is 50:1 to 1:50.
