ANISOTROPIC COMPOUNDS AND LIQUID CRYSTAL COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Anisotropic compounds having negative DC anisotropy and improved photochemical stability have the formula (1) given in patent claim 1; none of the benzene rings present in the molecule (1) is bonded directly to two oxygen atoms, as a result of which quinoidal bonding states which reduce the photochemical stability of anisotropic compounds in the case of benzene rings with two lateral nitrile groups are excluded.
