Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid-crystalline media and display devices comprising polymerizable compounds, to the use of the polymerizable compounds for optical, electro-optical and electronic purposes, in particular in liquid-crystal (LC) media and LC displays having a polymer-stabilized blue phase, and in LC media for LC displays of the PS or PSA (“polymer sustained” or “polymer sustained alignment”) type. The polymerizable compounds comprise a ring system which is functionalized by three or more polymerizable groups, each connected via an optional spacer group.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid-crystalline compounds containing an O-heterocyclic ring, three partially fluorinated benzene rings and a —CF2O— bridge between the rings. In addition, the invention relates to liquid-crystalline media prepared therewith and to liquid-crystal display devices (LC displays) containing these media.
