At least among characteristics such as high upper limit temperature, low lower limit temperature, small viscosity, appropriate optical anisotropy, negatively large dielectric anisotropy, large specific resistance, high stability against UV light, high stability against heat, suppression of display defects such as afterimage A liquid crystal composition is provided that satisfies one characteristic or has an appropriate balance between at least two of these characteristics. It provides AM devices with characteristics such as short response time, large voltage retention, low threshold voltage, large contrast ratio and long lifetime. It is a liquid crystal composition which has a compound which has a high solubility with respect to a liquid crystal composition, and has a compound which has an effect which suppresses the display defect of a liquid crystal display element as a 1st additive, and has positive (+) dielectric anisotropy, It may contain a specific compound having a high dielectric constant anisotropy in a positive amount as one component, a specific compound having a high upper limit temperature or a small viscosity as a second component, and a specific compound having negative dielectric anisotropy as a third component. |
