The present invention relates to a positive liquid crystal composition that has a dielectric anisotropy (”µ) useful as a liquid crystal display material and a liquid crystal display element using this liquid crystal composition. A liquid crystal composition according to the present invention has a liquid crystal phase in a wide temperature range, a low viscosity, a good solubility at low temperatures, a high resistivity, and a high voltage holding ratio, and is stable to heat and light. Use of this liquid crystal composition can provide a liquid crystal display element that has high displaying quality and is less likely to undergo displaying failures such as burn-in and dropping marks. A liquid crystal display element that employs a liquid crystal composition according to the present invention is useful for an active-matrix-driving liquid crystal display element and can be used for a liquid crystal display element that employs the TN mode, the IPS mode, the FFS mode, or the like. |
