    Abstract: The liquid-crystal element described consists of a housing with transparent discs and electrodes, polarisation foils, orientation films, plus a smectic ferro-electric liquid-crystalline material. This FLC material is dielectrically positive (i.e. DELTA epsilon >0), with the result that the liquid-crystal element has a high contrast and, in addition, is switchable even when high voltages (e.g. greater than 15 V) are applied. Unlike LC elements with dielectrically negative material, no change in surface texture occurs under such conditions. The increase in the effective cone angle produced by applying an electric field to the element described above can also be used to produce so-called grey shades.

    Abstract: Novel optically active esters of 5-ethyl- and 5-vinyl-1,3- dioxolane-4-carboxylic acid, their use as dopes in liquid-crystal mixtures, and liquid-crystal mixtures containing the novel esters. Optically active 1,3-dioxolanyl derivatives of the general formula (I) are suitable as dopes in liquid-crystal mixtures. The symbols in the general formula have the following meanings: R has an analogous structure to the moiety on the right of X in the general formula or is an alkyl or alkylene radical, which may be substituted, R and R are H or alkyl, which may also be substituted [R and R are alternatively, together with the C(2) of the dioxolane ring, a cycloaliphatic radical] R is vinyl or ethyl, with the proviso that at least one radical R is vinyl or ethyl if R is analogous to the moiety on the right of X in the formula (I), -A , -A and -A are aromatic, heterocyclic or aliphatic ring systems, -M and -M are -CO-O, -O-CO, -CH2CH2, -CH=CH, -CH2O,-OCH2 or -C=C, and X is O, S or O-CO-O. The particular advantage of the compound of the general formula (I) is that it is able to induce high twisting power in a cholesteric phase.
