Low molecular weight polar compound for homogeneously aligning liquid crystal medium, and liquid crystal medium containing the same

摘要

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a liquid crystal composition which does not require an alignment treatment or an alignment film on the substrate, and solves this problem by providing a low molecular polar compound which homogeneously aligns a liquid crystal medium on a substrate, and for example, is characterized by being represented by general formula (1). In formula (1), M is a nonpolar group having a carbon number of 1 or more, and P is a polar group. €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒM-P€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(1)
