    Abstract

    Some high birefringence ester liquid crystal compounds with cyanate or isothiocyanate polar groups were investigated, the relaxation frequency of which is in the kilo-Hertz region. These compounds are useful for formulating dual-frequency liquid crystal (DFLC) mixtures. The dielectric relaxation and electro-optical properties of these compounds were characterised. Potential applications of these compounds for DFLC mixtures to meet different requirements are discussed.
