(57) [Summary] [Object] To provide a novel antiferroelectric liquid crystal compound having an amide bond. [Structure] General formula: (In the formula, R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups having 3 to 18 carbon atoms, Rf is a fluoro-lower alkyl group, X is —O—, —COO—, —OOC. A group selected from the group consisting of —, —CO— and a single bond, and (A) and (B) are independent of the group consisting of a phenyl group, a biphenyl group and a naphthalene group in which at least a halogen atom may be substituted. It is the basis that was chosen by. * Indicates optically active carbon. ) An antiferroelectric liquid crystal compound represented by. |
