A liquid crystal layer containing a liquid crystal composition is sandwiched between a first transparent insulating substrate, a second transparent insulating substrate, and a first substrate and a second substrate, A second common electrode made of a transparent conductive material, and a pixel electrode made of a transparent conductive material, and the pixel electrode and the common electrode are connected to each other by a fringing electric field between these electrodes Electrode distance between the pixel electrode and the common electrode: R is smaller than the distance between the first substrate and the second substrate: G, and the common electrode is formed on substantially the entire surface of the first substrate, Wherein the liquid crystal composition has a negative dielectric anisotropy and is one or more selected from the group of compounds represented by the general formula (i), the general formula (ii), and the general formula (iii) Containing two or more compounds A liquid crystal display element is provided. |
