Determination and Analysis of the Physical Properties of a New Class of Polar Nematic Liquid Crystals

  • Hp. Schad and S. M. Kelly

Abstract

We have measured the physical properties of three homologues of a new class of polar nematic liquid crystals having no molecular association. On the basis of mean field and continuum theories an analysis of the physical properties has been performed. The advantageous application of this class of compounds (substituted aromatic ketones) in liquid crystal displays - especially in the highly multiplexed twisted nematic display - is outlined and an example of a simple practical mixture is given.
