A liquid crystal composition exhibiting a blue phase, which achieves higher contrast, and a liquid crystal display device using the liquid crystal composition are provided. A liquid crystal including a compound having three electron-withdrawing groups as a terminal group of a structure in which a plurality of rings including at least one aromatic ring are connected directly or via a linking group and a chiral agent, and having a reflection spectrum In the liquid crystal composition, the peak of the diffraction wavelength on the longest wavelength side in is 450 nm or less, more preferably 420 nm or less. In addition, a liquid crystal display device can be provided using the liquid crystal composition. [Selection figure] None |
