RESPONSE TIME ACCELERATOR FOR FERROELECTRIC LIQUID CRYSTAL, FERROELECTRIC LIQUID CRYSTAL COMPOSITION, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY ELEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ferroelectric liquid crystal composition excellent in impact resistance and response quickness and to provide a response time accelerator for a ferroelectric liquid crystal used therein.;SOLUTION: There is provided a response time accelerator for a ferroelectric liquid crystal, comprising a chiral compound having a phenylpyrimidine skeleton and, optionally, like compounds. The chiral groups are exemplified by groups represented by general formula (2) (wherein R³³ is a 1-4C saturated or unsaturated alkyl or alkoxyalkyl group which may be substituted with a halogen atom; Y³¹ is -CH₃ or a fluorine atom; and the atom marked with * is a chiral center).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
