  • LIQUID CRYSTALLINE MEDIA HAVING HOMEOTROPIC ALIGNMENT
    Publication number: 20180208848
    Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid-crystalline media (LC media) having negative or positive dielectric anisotropy, comprising a low-molecular-weight component and a polymerisable component. The polymerisable component comprises self-aligning, polymerisable mesogens (polymerisable self-alignment additives) which effect homeotropic (vertical) alignment of the LC media at a surface or the cell walls of a liquid-crystal display (LC display). The invention therefore also encompasses LC displays having homeotropic alignment of the LC medium without alignment layers. The invention discloses novel structures for polymerisable self-alignment additives which have a certain position of the functional groups.
