ABSTRACT:
High-dielectric colorless or virtually colorless dopants for low-voltage and tunable clearing temperature liquid-crystal devices. These dopant compounds help reduce the operation voltage for both polar and non-polar liquid-crystal (LC) mixtures. Methods for making and using these dopant compounds are also disclosed.
