(57) [Summary] (with correction) [Problem] A temperature range showing a nematic phase is wide and 2 Provided is a polymerizable liquid crystal composition containing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound, which exhibits a nematic phase even in a temperature range of 5 ° C. or lower and has excellent compatibility with other polymerizable liquid crystal compounds used in combination. . A liquid crystal skeleton having two or more ring structures; formula [Wherein, P 1 is a polymerizable functional group, S 1 is an ethylene group or a propylene group, S 2 is an ester bond or an ether bond, m is 1 or 2, S 3 is-(CH 2 ) V -,-(CH 2) V -O A connecting chain represented by —C (＝ O) — or the like (V is 1 to 20), and A 1 and E 1 represent a hydrocarbon ring or a hetero ring. Here, E 1 is a ring contained in the liquid crystalline skeleton. D 1 is -C (= O) -O- (CH 2) W -O -, - O (CH 2) Represents a connecting chain represented by W— O—C (＝ O) — and the like (w is 1 to 15). ] The polymerizable liquid crystal composition containing the compound which has a partial structure represented by these, and an optical anisotropic body using the same. |
