Dielectric properties of fluorine-containing tricyclic NCS liquid crystal materials
In order to investigate the dielectric properties of liquid crystal (LC) materials
the dielectric anisotropy and dielectric loss of two fluorine-containing tricyclic NCS LC materials
4PPTGS and 4PUTGS
were studied in this paper. Firstly
the capacitances of the LC cells were measured with a precision LCR meter (Agilent E4980A). The parallel and vertical dielectric constants of both LC materials were obtained by using the dual-cell model and the LC cell capacitance model. On the basis of the voltage-capacitance characteristic curve
we further explored the dependence of dielectric anisotropy and threshold voltage on temperature. In addition
the effect of applied voltage frequency on the dielectric loss of LC materials in the range of 20 Hz~10 kHz were studied. There are dielectric loss peaks around 1 kHz for both LC materials. Consequently
to reduce the power consumption and improve the quality of the device
LC materials should be selected to work at the frequencies with low dielectric loss. Finally
the dielectric loss of LC materials in parallel and vertical aligned nematic cells were tested and analyzed for different voltages. The change of the dielectric loss is due to the orientation polarization of the intrinsic dipole moment of the LC molecules under the applied electric field
and the value of dielectric loss is closely related to the arrangement of the LC molecules. This paper has a certain guiding significance for improving the dielectric properties of LC materials in applications.
