Abstract

Recently the investigation in the field of LCD technology has been boosted by the availability of new materials. The new group of fluorinated mesogens has been recently synthesized in Poland. In this work we have been focused on investigations of properties of materials having the broad temperature range of antiferroelectric phase. Such key factors as apparent tilt angle and structural properties and electro-optical performance have been studied by means of electro-optical and X-ray methods. The bend molecular shape and the presence of fluorinated tail has been assumed as a factor leading to an extremely high apparent optical tilt. The length of the fluorinated chain seems to affect th mesogenic behavior.
