Provided is a liquid crystal composition capable of ensuring storage stability when added to a liquid crystal composition, and enabling vertical alignment of liquid crystal molecules without providing a PI layer. The liquid crystal composition of the present invention contains the compound represented by the formula (i), and in particular, as Ki1 in the formula (i), it is a table represented by any of the formula (K-1) to the formula (K-3). When used in a liquid crystal composition, the liquid crystal composition (liquid crystal layer) is adsorbed to the substrate holding the liquid crystal composition, and the liquid crystal molecules are held in a state of being vertically aligned. it can. Therefore, according to the liquid crystal composition using the compound of the present invention, the liquid crystal molecules are aligned without providing the PI layer (in which the vertical alignment of the liquid crystal molecules is induced when no voltage is applied, and the horizontal alignment of liquid crystal molecules Can be realized). |
