    Abstract: The invention relates to an electro-optically switchable columnar liquid-crystalline system which is characterised in that the columns have ferroelectric transverse polarisation. In the columns of electro-optically switchable ferroelectric phases, the molecules are tilted or otherwise oriented to the long axes of the columns in such a way that the columns are ferroelectrically polarised. The ferroelectric polarisation is in a direction transverse to the column axis or has at least one transverse component. The polarisation direction need not be the same for all columns of a columnar phase. By applying an electrical field to the liquid crystal, the transverse polarisation of the columns is fully or partially reoriented. The liquid-crystalline system according to the invention can be used for the production of electro-optical switching and display devices (displays).

    Abstract: The novel compounds are chiral esters of alpha -substituted phenylalkanoic acids and mesogenic hydroxy compounds, the symbols in the general formula (I) (I) being defined as follows: MO=molecular radical of a mesogenic hydroxy compound MOH after removal of one H, the radical MO being expressed by the general formula (II) R2-(A1)n1-(B-)n2(A2)n3-O (II) where R2=straight-chain or branched (C1-C12)-alkyl, it being possible for one or two non-adjacent CH2 groups to be replaced by O and/or S atoms, or, if n1=1, also F, Cl, Br, CN or CF3, A1, A2=independently of one another 1,4-phenylene, diazine-2,5-diyl, diazine-3,6-diyl, 1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl, 1,3-dithiane-2,5-diyl or 1,4-bicyclo(2,2,2)octylene, it being possible for these groups also to be at least monosubstituted by F, Cl, Br, CN, CF3 and/or (C1-C12)-alkyl (one or two non-adjacent CH2 groups may be replaced by O and/or S atoms), B=CO-O, O-CO, CH2-CH2, OCH2, CH2O, CH=N, N=CH, N=N, N(O)=N, n1, n2, n3=independently of one another 0, 1 or 2, n1 and n3 not being 0 simultaneously, Y=an electron-attracting substituent, Z=H or an electron-attracting substituent, but not identical with Y, and R1=benzyl or phenyl, it being possible for these groups to be substituted in the aromatic moiety in the same way as A1 and A2, with the exception of the compounds with Z=H, Y=F, Cl or Br, R2=(C1-C11)-alkoxy, A1 and A2=phenyl, n1, and n3=1 and n2=0. The compounds are preferably used in tilted smectic liquid crystal phases, which are converted into ferroelectric liquid crystal phases by these compounds; they show high values of spontaneous polarization.

    Abstract: The new esters derived from a chiral compound containing two OH groups and at least one mesogenic carboxylic acid which have the general formula (I) (I) in which X1=O-H or O-CO-(C1 to C12)alkyl and X2=O-MC or X1 and X2 denote O-MC independently of each other, where MC is the molecular radical of a mesogenic monocarboxylic acid after splitting off an OH group. The esters or esters substituted in the aromatic part of the phenolic part preferably find application as an admixture intwistable liquid crystal phases in which they produce a temperature compensation and a high degree of twisting.
