    Abstract: The use of polyaryl ether ketones of the structural unit -O-A-O-B- gives alignment layers for liquid-crystal displays and switching elements which have high transparency, low water-absorption capacity and a particularly uniform alignment, both of smectic and nematic liquid crystals, and thus enable high contrast to be obtained.

    Abstract: The novel liquid crystalline mixtures, which additionally contain an optically active compound as a dopant in the case of ferroelectric behaviour are based on at least 2 components of the general formula (I) and at least one carboxylic ester of the general formula (XI) or (XII) in which x is an integer of from 2 to 14 and n is an integer of from 6 to 14 in which a and b independently of one another may denote an integer of from 2 to 14 and -X- may denote an or an -O- group; in which A denotes, for example, pyrimidine-2,5-diyl, -Y- denotes, for example, -O- or -S-, -M- denotes, for example, -O- or -CH2-, -R denotes, for example, CH3 and c, d and e denote, for example, integers such as 2, 3 or 4. The mixtures, which may also contain further components, have advantageous properties for use in electrooptical display elements, such as low melting points and low crystallisation temperatures.

    Abstract: HOE 89/F 197 Ferroelectric liquid crystal components having a high spontaneous polarization and a small helical pitch Liquid crystal materials are becoming increasingly important in electro-optical switching and display devices. During recent times, ferroelectric liquid crystal mixtures have also been investigated to a particularly great extent and used in displays. A physical quantity which is particularly important for the purpose of describing FLC mixtures is the spontaneous polarization (Ps). On the one hand, a high spontaneous polarization leads to short switching times, while on the other hand in the case of high Ps values an optical hysteresis occurs, which leads, inter alia, to so-called "ghost images". In spite of high spontaneous polarization, the problem of the optical hysteresis may be overcome by the use of FLC mixtures having a high spontaneous polarization (Ps 20 nC/cm2) and a natural helical pitch of less than one half of the layer thickness in an SSFLC display with a layer thickness of 1 to 10 .mu.m. FLC mixtures with Ps > 40 nC/cm2 can also be switched under these conditions.

    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.
