A liquid crystal composition containing at least one compound expressed by general formula (i), and at least one compound expressed by general formula (ii). In the formulas, R i1 represents a C 1-8 alkyl group, A i1 represents a 1,4-cyclohexene group, 1,4-phenylene group, or a single bond, R ii1 represents a C 1-8 alkyl group, R ii2 represents a fluorine atom, chlorine atom, cyano group, or a C 1-8 alkyl group, A ii1 and A ii2 represent a 1,4-cyclohexene group or a 1,4-phenylene group, Z ii1 and Z ii2 represent a single bond, -CH 2 CH 2 -, -(CH 2 ) 4 -, -OCH 2 -, -CH 2 O-, -OCF 2 -, -CF 2 O-, -COO-, -OCO-, or -C≡C-, m ii1 and m ii2 independently represent 0, 1, 2, or 3, but m ii1 + m ii2 is 1, 2, 3, or 4. |
