Compounds which are liquid crystals of the type having - dioxane and device of the electro - optic receiver - received the use of such compounds:

摘要

Novel liquid crystalline compounds having low viscosity, low transition temperatures, positive dielectric anisotropy and extremely low optical birefringence are provided. The compounds are represented by the formula: IMAGE where R and R1 can be the same or different straight chain alkyl or alkoxy group and m can be 1 or 2. Guest-host electrooptical displays including a mixture of one or more of the compounds with a suitable pleochroic dye exhibit much improved constrast and low driving voltage while eliminating the need for polarizers and excessive dye additions.
