    Abstract: Optically active 1,3 dioxolane derivatives containing a mesogenic residue, of the general formula (I), are suitable as doping agents especially in ferro-electrical liquid crystal mixtures. The meanings of the symbols in the general formula are: R is constructed similarly to the part of the general formula to the right of X or an alkyl or alkylene residue which may be substituted; R , R , R = H or alkyl (R may also be alkenyl) which may also be substituted [R , R together with the C(2) of the dioxolane ring may be a cycloaliphate or a keto group]; j, l, n = zero, 1 or 2 and k, m = zero or 1 provided that if k = zero, n = zero also, if n = zero, m = zero also and l , -A , -A = aromatic, heterocyclic or aliphatic ring system; -M ,- M = -CO-O, -O-CO, -CH2CH2, -CH=CH, -CH2O, -OCH2, -C=C and X = CH=CH, CH2-CH2. The special advantage of the compounds with the general formula (I) is that they can induce a high twisting capacity in a cholesteric phase without substantially affecting in the smectic C* phase the value of the spontaneous polarisation already in the mixture. They are therefore suitable for pitch compensation, especially for ferro-electrical liquid crystal mixtures.

    Abstract: Liquid-crystalline materials are becoming increasingly important in electrooptical switching and display devices. Recently, ferroelectric liquid-crystalline mixtures have also been investigated widely and employed in displays. A particularly important physical parameter for describing FLC mixtures is the spontaneous polarisation (Ps). On the one hand, a high spontaneous polarisation results in short response times, but on the other hand, high Ps values result in optical hysteresis, which causes, inter alia, so-called "ghost images". The use of FLC mixtures of high spontaneous polarisation (Ps 20 nC/cm ) and a natural helical pitch of less than half the layer thickness in an SSFLC display having a layer thickness of from 1 to 10 mu m allows the problem of optical hysteresis to be circumvented, in spite of the high spontaneous polarisation. FLC mixtures in which Ps is > 40 nC/cm can also be switched under these conditions.

    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.
