PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal composition having a negative dielectric anisotropy and a large absolute value and a small refractive index anisotropy, and further providing a VA type liquid crystal display element using the same. SOLUTION: General formula (1) [Chemical 9] And a nematic liquid crystal composition having a negative dielectric anisotropy, which comprises a compound represented by formula (1) and an existing specific liquid crystal material. Since the liquid crystal composition has a negative dielectric anisotropy having a large absolute value and a small refractive index anisotropy, a liquid crystal display using the liquid crystal composition is particularly active in the VA mode, such as VA mode, ECB mode, and IPS mode. It is very practical as a matrix drive liquid crystal display. [Selection figure] None |
