| abstract |
The invention provides a liquid crystal composition that does not require an alignment film or alignment treatment on a substrate. The above-mentioned problem is solved by a low-molecular polar compound in which a liquid crystal medium is uniformly aligned with a substrate, for example, a low-molecular polar compound characterized by the following general formula (1). In the formula (1), M is a non-polar group having 1 or more carbon atoms, and P is a polar group. |
