Abstract
Abstract A novel liquid crystal compound has a formula: ##STR1## where: ##STR2## is a trans-2,5-disubstituted-1,3-dioxan ring or a 2,5-disubstituted-1,3-pyrimidine ring ##STR3## is a 1,4-disubstituted benzene ring optionally containing one or more F, Cl or CH 3 groups as lateral substituents; R 1 is an alkyl group; and X is a terminal group selected from H, CN, Cl, F and R 2 where R 2 is selected from alkyl R 3 , alkoxy OR 3 , alkylcarbonyloxy OCOR 3 and alkoxycarbonyloxy OCOOR 3 .
