The invention is to provide a polymerizable liquid crystal compound that has a liquid crystal phase in a wide temperature range centering at room temperature, has excellent compatibility with another polymerizable liquid crystal compound, has excellent solubility in an organic solvent, and is polymerizable even in air by heat or light. The polymerizable liquid crystal compound is represented by formula (1-1) or formula (1-2): A1 and A2 are a divalent cyclic-structure group such as cyclohexylene and phenylene, Z1 is a bonding group such as a single bond and -O-, m is an integer from 1 to 5, Q1 and Q2 are alkylene having 1 to 20 carbons, R1 is fluorine, cyano, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, alkyl, alkoxy and so forth, and Ra and Rb are hydrogen, halogen or alkyl. |
