(57) [Summary] [Object] To provide a ferroelectric liquid crystal composition capable of high-speed response, and a liquid crystal display device using the same. A ferroelectric liquid crystal composition comprising a chiral compound and a non-chiral compound, wherein the chiral compound is represented by the general formula (I): (Wherein A, B and C independently represent an aromatic hydrocarbon, an alicyclic hydrocarbon or a heterocycle), and the non-chiral compound is represented by the general formula (II): ] A ferroelectric liquid crystal composition containing a non-chiral compound represented by (wherein R 4 and R 5 independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms). A liquid crystal display device encapsulating this ferroelectric liquid crystal composition. |
