Liquid-crystalline media which can be used, in particular, for electro-optical displays having active-matrix addressing based on the ECB effect and for IPS (in-plane switching) displays or FFS (fringe field switching) displays.

Liquid-crystalline media

Liquid-crystalline media (LC media) comprising self-aligning mesogens (self-alignment additives) which effect homeotropic (vertical) alignment of the LC media at a surface or the cell walls of a liquid-crystal display (LC display). The self-alignment additives contain five-ring systems. LC displays having homeotropic alignment of the liquid-crystalline medium (LC medium) without conventional alignment layers are provided.

Compounds for the homeotropic alignment of liquid-crystalline media

A liquid-crystalline media (LC media) containing a low-molecular-weight, non-polymer component, and a combination of self-alignment additives for vertical alignment of two or more of the specified kinds (formulae IA to IM). The combination of two or more self-alignment additives affect homeotropic (vertical) alignment of the LC media at a surface or the cell surfaces of a liquid-crystal display (LC display).

Liquid-crystalline media having homeotropic alignment

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal (LC) medium comprising polymerisable compounds, to a process for its preparation, to its use for optical, electro-optical and electronic purposes, in particular in LC displays, and to LC displays comprising it.

Liquid crystal medium containing polymerisable compounds

Liquid-crystal medium

The present invention relates to a liquid-crystalline medium based on a mixture of polar compounds having negative dielectric anisotropy (&#x394;&#x3b5;), which is distinguished by the fact that it has a value for the ratio &#x3b3;/&#x394;nin the range 6-45 with a clearing point of &#x3e;60&#xb0; C. and a &#x394;&#x3b5; of &#x2264;&#x2212;2.3. Media of this type are particularly suitable for electro-optical displays having active-matrix addressing based on the ECB, PA LCD, FFS or IPS effect.

Liquid crystalline medium

The invention relates to liquid-crystalline media which can be used, in particular, for electro-optical displays having active-matrix addressing based on the ECB effect and for IPS (in-plane switching) displays or FFS (fringe field switching) displays.

The invention relates to a liquid-crystalline medium which comprises at least one compound of the formula I, and to the use thereof for an active-matrix display, in particular based on the VA, PSA, PS-VA, PALC, FFS or IPS effect.
