Description: DESCR I PT I ON ELECTRIC OPTICAL LIQUID CRYSTAL SYSTEM Technical Field The present invention relates to an electric optical liquid crystal system. In more detail, it relates to a novel elecric optical system having a good high-speed response, a wide visual range and a high contrast, characterized in that outsides of transparent upper and lower substrates in a bend cell are placed cross-nicolly between at least one birefringent film and at least two polarized plates, wherein the said substrates facing each other have such a relationship that a pre-tilt direction of liquid crystal molecules in one substrate interface and a pre- tilt direction of liquid crystal molecules in the other substrate interface of the substrates being planar synmetrical positions against center planes of both substrates, optionally with an active switch element formed on either transparent substrate in matrix form. Background Art A liquid crystal panel (hereinafter referred to π cell) having liquid crystals filled between one pair of facing substrates wherein crtstals orient in such a quasi-parallel way that a pre-tilt direction of both substrate molecules being planar synmetrical against the center plane between substrates has characteristics, namely a short 0N-0FF time (hereinafter referred to a response time) and an eminently low visual dependency (Philip J.Bos et al, SID 83 DIGEST P.30-31, 1983). Furthermore, a flat liquid crystal image display panel can be obtained by switching selectively an active switching element formed on either transparent substrate in π cell in matrix form (Toku-Kai-Sho 61-116329). Also, in π cell, an OFF state (a bend orientation) is quasi- stable and may shift to a more stable quasi-homogeneous state (a splay orientation) within a relaxation time of several seconds to several dozen seconds. In order to carry out switching an ON state (a vertical orientation) and an OFF state stably, it is necessary to put a certain bias voltage before a bend orientation of an OFF state shifts to a splay orientation. Concretely, it may be a periodical ON voltage or an irregular pulse which does not obstruct displaying (Toku-Kai-Sho 61-128227) . Furthermore, those with a more improved visual dependency obtained by placing π cells and a birefringent film between crossnicols are known as OCB cells (Y. Yamaguchi et al., SID 93 DIGEST P. 227, 1993). In OCB cells, there are used cells with twist angles between upper and lower substrates of 0° (the above-mentioned7u cells) , biaxial phase different plates and nematic liquid crystal compositions without addition of any chiral agent, which being very different from cells of conventional TN (twist nematic) and STN (supertwist nematic) modes. A characteristic of the OCB cells on driving is to drive liquid crystal molecules in cells in a bend oriented state. That is, it is realized to obtain a very wide visual angle and a very high contrast compared to cells of conventional TN (twist nematic) and STN (supertwist nematic) modes by combining bend oriented liquid crystals with biaxial phase different plates. Furthermore, it is also realized to obtain a very fast response time such as 1/20 to 1/500 compared to cells of conventional TN (twist nematic) and STN (supertwist nematic) modes by driving liquid crystals in a bend oriented state. However, any combination of OCB cell and an active switching element is not known from the above-mentioned prior arts. Particularly in the case of using OCB cells combined with active switching elements, it is not known that characteristic combinations of materials used, for example, liquid crystal materials, oriented membranes etc., influence display qualities of the said cells. For example, liquid crystals used in the above-mentioned prior arts are ZLI-1132 made by Merck Co. consisting of cyanophenylcyclohexane derivatives and E-44 made by BDH Co. consisting of cyanobiphenyl derivatives, etc. Furthermore, there is no description about an oriented membrane. In the case that a flat liquid crystal image display panel is prepared by switching selectively an active switching element in π cells, particularly formed on either transparent substrate of π cells in matrix form, it is known that deterioration of image signal results in deterioration of image display characteristics, especially a contrast. Deterioration of image signals depends on direct current residual electric charges or voltage holding ratios of constituting materials, especially liquid crystal materials and oriented memebrane materials, arranged within insides of cells. For example, the above-mentioned ZLI-1132 or E-44 uses compounds having CN groups as terminal groups much, so that not only direct current residual electric charges become more, but also voltage holding ratios become very less. As a result, these liquid crystal materials cause a decrease in a contrast of display in an active matrix driving method, which can not be put to practical use. However, combinations of various parameters attained are still unsuitable and insufficient especially as to an electric optical system according to the present invention having a high contrast. It attributes to the fact that various requirements are influenced oppositely due to physical properties. Thus, in order to have a high contrast and simultaneously possess a wide active temperature range, a good high-speed response, a wide visual range, a low temperature dependency of a threshold voltage value and a low frequency dependency adapted to the above-mentioned requirements, there are many problems to be solved. Problems to be solved by the Invention An object of the invention is to solve these problems in order that any above-mentioned disadvantage is never shown or only slightly shown and propose a novel electric optical system with a good high-speed response, a wide visual range and a high contrast.

Furthermore, Fig. 2 shows optical directions of liquid crystal molecules, a birefringent membrane and a polarized plate in Fig. 1. In order to optimise a display contrast and a response time of the electric optical system according to the invention, some important requirements, namely 1) a chemical stability being high for long term, 2) an electric resistance being high, 3) a temperature dependency of a threshold voltage value being low, etc. are requested for constituting materials, particularly liquid crystals and oriented membrane materials, arranged within insides of cells. Furthermore, in order to obtain a high contrast and a wide visual range in the electric optical system according to the invention, liquid crystal materials are necessary to have low K33 K1L preferably K33/K11 less than 1.5 and more preferably less than 1.2. A characteristic of OCB cells on driving is to drive liquid crystal molecules in a bend oriented state in cells. However, since they have spray orientation states in the case of without any applied voltage, they should be driven within a voltage range higher than a conversion voltage range (V C R) which converts from a spray orientation to a bend orientation. Magni tude of the conversion voltage range (V C R) depends on respective absolute values of a bend elastic constant K 33 and a spray clastic constant Kι . as well as on their ratios K 33 /Ktι, if dielectric anisotropies (Δ ε ) of liquid crystal compositions being same, and the smaller the respective absolute values of both elastic constants K 33 and K M as well as their ratios K33/K1 L, the smaller their conversion voltage ranges (V CR ) . That is, smaller K J3 / ι ι ratios tend to have a bend oriented state and promote a conversion rate from a splay oriented state to a bend oriented state Furthermore, the higher the pre-tilt angle, the faster the conversion rate (Liquid Crystal Forum, P.396- 397, 1993) The compounds of the formula 1 are expressed for example by the formulae (l-l) to (1-22) : formula 1-1 to 1-22 Λ-J Furthermore, the compounds of the formula 1 are preferably expressed by the following chemical structure: formula 1 (wherein, Ri is an alkyl group with 1 to 8 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group with up to 7 carbon atoms, Zi and Z 2 denote independently each other -CH 2 CH - or a single bond, Q is -CF2-. -0CF 2 -, -0CF 2 CFHCF 2 - or a single bond, Y denotes H, F, Cl or an alkyl group optionally substituted with F atom (s) at H atom (s) , Ai and A 2 are independently each other trans-1, 4-cyclohexylene, 1 , 4-phenylene, 2-fluoro- 1 , 4-phenylene, 3-fluoro-1 , 4-phenylene, 2, 3-difluoro-l, 4-phenylene, 3, 5-difluoro-l, 4-phenylene, pyrimidine-2, 5-diyl or pyridine-2, 5-diyl. ) .
