Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a liquid-crystalline medium for electrooptical display elements based on the ECB effect, containing two components A and B which themselves comprise one or more individual compounds, component A having clearly negative dielectric anistropy and giving the liquid-crystalline phase a dielectric anistrophy of ≦-0.3, and component B having pronounced nematogeneity and a viscosity of not more than 30 mPa.s at 20° C., characterized in that component A contains one or more compounds containing a structural element ##STR1##

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A nematic liquid crystal medium which comprises a thiadiazole derivative of Formula I ##STR36## wherein p+q is 2, A.sup.° is 1,4-phenylene, one Z.sup.° group is --CH 2 CH 2 --, the other remaining Z.sup.° groups are single bons, and R 1 and R 2 are each, independently of one another, an alkyl group of up to 5 carbon atoms in which one --CH 2 -- group may be replaced by --O--.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
A nematic liquid crystal medium which comprises a thiadiazole derivative of Formula I ##STR36## wherein p+q is 2, A.sup.° is 1,4-phenylene, one Z.sup.° group is --CH 2 CH 2 --, the other remaining Z.sup.° groups are single bons, and R 1 and R 2 are each, independently of one another, an alkyl group of up to 5 carbon atoms in which one --CH 2 -- group may be replaced by --O--.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A nematic liquid crystal medium as in claim 1, wherein the sum of the carbon atoms for R 1 +R 2 is from 2 to 8 carbon atoms.
