Abstract
In this study, three kinds of low-viscosity difluorooxymethylene-bridged (CF2O) liquid crystals (LCs) were synthesised. These materials exhibit low melting point and low viscosity at room temperature. The viscosity of the final LC mixture significantly decreased when LC compounds were mixed with high-birefringence (Δn) isothiocyanato LCs. The tested curves with varied temperatures of LC mixtures showed that some CF2O LC compounds could enhance the response performance of high-Δn LCs in a specific temperature range. Therefore, LC compounds with low viscosity could become a component of LC mixtures with fast response performance.
