The present invention relates to a switch element, which is switched between a state which is thermally reactive and less transferable to radiant energy and more transferable to radiant energy, and comprises a liquid crystal medium. The invention further relates to the use of switch elements for regulating the radiant energy flow between the internal space and the surrounding environment and the temperature of the internal space. The invention furthermore relates to a liquid crystal medium which comprises 5 to 95% of the compound of general formula (I), in particular for use in the switch element according to the invention. |
