New nematogenic structures
New nematogenic compounds are developed combining known structural
elements in the rigid molecular core, the bridging groups, flexible chains and polar end groups.
A few examples of commonly known molecular building elements are:
In addition new building elements are researched. By their combination the physical properties required in displays as
- optical anisotropy
- dielectric anisotropy
- viscosity coefficients
- elastic constants
- holding ratio
- temperature range of the nematic phase
can be matched.
