| abstract |
The present invention relates to compounds containing at least one C-C triple bond within a chain of at least 3 ring systems which have positive dielectric anisotropy, to the use thereof for high-frequency components, to liquid-crystalline media comprising the compounds, and to high-frequency components, in particular antennae, especially for the gigahertz region, comprising these media. The liquid-crystalline media serve, for example, for the phase shifting of microwaves for tuneable 'phased-array' antennae. |
