Provided is a liquid crystal composition having a large absolute value of dielectric anisotropy, which has been difficult to increase because a usable skeleton is limited, and further, a VA-mode liquid crystal display device using the same. I will provide a. A nematic liquid crystal composition comprising one or more liquid crystal compounds having a 6-membered lactone skeleton in the molecule and having a negative dielectric anisotropy, and Provided is a liquid crystal display element used. Since the liquid crystal composition has a large absolute value of dielectric anisotropy, it is effective for lowering the voltage of a VA liquid crystal display device. [Selection diagram] None |
