Disclosed is a liquid crystal composition that provides a liquid crystal display device in which a polymerizable compound has high reactivity and reliability (voltage holding ratio) does not decrease after irradiation with energy rays such as ultraviolet rays. SOLUTION: The polymerizable compound represented by the general formula (I) is contained in an amount of 0.01 to 3 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of a nematic liquid crystal composition having a negative dielectric anisotropy (Δε). Liquid crystal composition. In the formula, A is a ring assembly composed of at least two or more 6-membered rings, X 1 and X 2 represent a (meth) acryloyloxy group, Y 1 is a direct bond, -L 1- , -L 1 O -, - a L 1 CO-O- etc., Y 2 is a direct bond, -L 2 -, - OL 2 -, - O-COL 2 - and the like, L 1 and L 2 has a branch And may represent an alkylene group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, 1,4-phenylene group or naphthalene-2,6-diyl group, and the alkylene group may be 1,4-phenylene group or naphthalene-2,6-diyl group. Etc. may be interrupted. [Selection figure] None |
