PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: In characteristics such as high maximum temperature, low minimum temperature, small viscosity, appropriate optical anisotropy, negative large dielectric anisotropy, large specific resistance, high stability to ultraviolet light, high stability to heat, etc. Provided is a liquid crystal composition satisfying at least one characteristic or having an appropriate balance between at least two characteristics. Provided is an AM device having characteristics such as a short response time, a large voltage holding ratio, a low threshold voltage, a large contrast ratio, and a long lifetime. SOLUTION: A liquid crystal composition containing a specific compound having a high maximum temperature and a large optical anisotropy as a first component and having a negative dielectric anisotropy, the composition being a second component A specific compound having negatively large dielectric anisotropy, a specific compound having a high maximum temperature or a small viscosity as a third component, and a specific compound having a polymerizable group as an additive component may be contained.
