Popis: We investigated τ-Vmin mode FLC materials with respect to the operating range in voltage and temperature. For wide operating voltage range, we developed smectic C host mixtures with low viscosity and high dielectric biaxiality, and added a small amount of chiral compound to them. On the other hand, for wide operating temperature range, we optimized the combination of host and chiral materials from the viewpoint of temperature dependences of dielectric anisotropy and spontaneous polarization. As a result, we developed the FLC material FDS71 showing fast response time, high contrast ratio and wide operating range in voltage and temperature. This FLC material is suitable for the multiplexed passive-matrix ferroelectric liquid crystal displays showing full color moving images due to the high bit temporal dither technique.
