    Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP91/01339 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 12, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 12, 1993 PCT Filed Jul. 17, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/01728 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 6, 1992.A liquid-crystal display device having a liquid-crystal layer held between a pair of substrates each having a transparent electrode and an alignment film formed successively on the inner surface, characterized in that the material of the alignment film on at least one of the opposing faces between the substrates is a polymer having recurring units (I, II and III), the recurring unit (I) being represented by formula (A), (A) recurring unit II being a dioxyaryl portion represented by the formula -O-Ar-O- (where Ar is a divalent group having at least one aromatic ring which may contain at least one substituent selected from a C1-4 alkyl group, a C1-4 alkoxy group, a halogen, a phenyl and a substituted phenyl), and recurring unit (III) being a dicarboxyaryl portion represented by formula (B) (B) (where Ar' may be the same as or different from Ar and has the same meaning as Ar).

    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: 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?1 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?2, R?3, R?4 = H or alkyl (R?4 may also be alkenyl) which may also be substituted [R?2, R?3 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 j + l + n 3; -A?1, -A?2, -A?3 = aromatic, heterocyclic or aliphatic ring system; -M?1,- M?2 = -CO-O, -O-CO, -CH2?CH2?, -CH=CH, -CH2?O, -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.
