PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal composition capable of achieving vertical alignment of liquid crystal molecules by the action of a polymer, and a liquid crystal display device containing this composition. Kind Code: A1 A nematic liquid crystal composition comprising, as a first component, a specific liquid crystal compound having a large positive dielectric anisotropy and a polar compound having a polymerizable group as a first additive. A specific liquid crystalline compound having a high upper limit temperature or a small viscosity as a second component, a specific liquid crystalline compound having a positive dielectric anisotropy as a third component, a negative dielectric anisotropy as a fourth component It is a liquid crystal display element which may contain the specific liquid crystal compound which it has, and a polymeric compound as a 2nd additive, and contains this composition.
