Highly fluorinated liquid crystals with unprecedented polarity were obtained by introducing a tetrahydropyran moiety into their mesogenic core structure. The new materials exhibit an unusually favourable combination of mesophase properties, excellent solubility and low rotational viscosity, which renders them highly attractive for application in fast‐switching active matrix LCDs.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
