| abstract |
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a liquid-crystal composition suitable for use in liquid-crystal display elements which does not impair both various properties required for use in liquid-crystal display elements, such as permittivity anisotropy, viscosity, nematic-phase upper-limit temperature, and γ 1 , and the image sticking resistance of the display element, and which is less apt to cause drop marks during the production and enables the liquid-crystal material to be delivered in a stable amount in the ODF step, the liquid-crystal composition being characterized by containing a compound represented by formula (I) and containing a compound represented by general formula (II) in an amount of 15% or larger. Also provided is a liquid-crystal display element obtained using the liquid-crystal composition. |
