(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] A liquid crystal composition having excellent voltage transmittance characteristics (steepness) corresponding to colorization and corresponding to high speed. SOLUTION: The following first component (Ia, Ib), second Component (II-a to II-d), and third component (III-a to A liquid crystal composition containing at least one of III-c). Embedded image Embedded image Embedded image (In the formula, R 1 and R 2 represent an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. Any one of the groups or two or more methylene groups (—CH 2 —) not adjacent to each other represents an oxygen atom (—O). -) And -C It may be replaced by H = CH-. Z 0 is -COO --Or --CH 2 CH 2- , Z 1 , Q 1 , A 1 , A 3 each represents a predetermined cyclic group, and p, q and m each independently represent 0 or 1. n shows the integer of 0-20. [Effect] A composition having a high clearing point, a low viscosity and an excellent steepness as compared with the composition of the comparative example was obtained. |
