PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To satisfy at least one characteristic in characteristics such as a high maximum temperature, a low minimum temperature, a large elastic constant, an appropriate optical anisotropy, and a large negative dielectric anisotropy, or appropriate for at least two characteristics A liquid crystal composition having a good balance and an AM device including the composition are provided. A specific compound having a high maximum temperature, a low minimum temperature, a large elastic constant, and a negatively large dielectric anisotropy as a first component, and a specific compound having a high maximum temperature or a small viscosity as a second component The liquid crystal composition may contain a specific compound having a negative dielectric anisotropy as a third component or a specific compound having a polymerizable group as an additive component.
