A liquid crystal composition comprises liquid crystalnmolecules and an alignment promoter. The alignment promoternis represented by the formula (I).n (Hb-L l -) n Bl n In the formula (I), Hb is an aliphatic group having 4nto 40 carbon atoms, an aromatic group having 6 to 40 carbonnatoms or an aliphatic substituted oligosiloxanoxy groupnhaving 1 to 40 carbon atoms. L 1 is a single bond or a divalentnlinking group, and n is an integer of 2 to 12. Blnis an n-valent group comprising at least two rings. |
