Neue diskotische Verbindungen und Verfahren zur Herstellung optisch anisotroper Elemente

DE 10229169 A UPAB: 20040511 NOVELTY - Nematic discotic compounds having a star structure are new. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Nematic discotic compounds (I) have a star structure of formula (1). DS = structural unit having a stable discotic nematic phase; L = linker An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a process for the production of optically anisotropic elements (II) comprising a transparent substrate, optionally having an orientation layer, coated with a nematic discotic layer comprising compounds (I). USE - The optically anisotropic elements (II) are useful as optoelectronic components (claimed) for LCD displays. ADVANTAGE - The compounds (I) exhibit a stable nematic phase
