Liquid-crystalline polymer
Abstract
Abstract A liquid-crystalline polymer comprising the repeating units of the general formula (I) in which : k is an integer from 1 to 30 ; and R 1 is where : X is -COO-or -OCO-: and R 2 is -COOR 3 , OCOR 3 , or -OR3 where : R3 is R 4 and R 5 being each independently -CH 3 , a halogen radical, or -CN, m and n being each independently an integer from 0 to 10 with the proviso that n is not 0 when R 4 is -CH 3 , p being 0 or 1, and C marked with being an asymmetric carbon atom. The polymers of the present invention exhibit a ferroelectricity even at temperatures around room temperature and as well have such a high speed of response to external factors that they can be used for displaying motion pictures, and the polymers may also be advantageously used as display elements for large displays or curved displays.
