The present invention provides a liquid crystal composition which is adjusted as the refractive index anisotropy (Δn) without deteriorating the temperature range of the nematic phase, and the viscosity (η) is sufficiently low, and the dielectric anisotropy (Δε) a liquid crystal composition having a positive dielectric constant anisotropy, wherein the liquid crystal composition contains one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the formula (LC0), and further One or two or more compounds selected from the group consisting of the compounds represented by the formula (LC5), and one or more of them are contained in Y01 to Y41 of the formula (LC0) to the formula (LC4). At least one of them is a compound having a fluorinated alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkenyl group or an alkenyloxy group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms. |
