Abstract:
The present invention relates to a nematic liquid crystal composition useful as an electro-optic liquid crystal display material and having a positive dielectric anisotropy (Δ∈). The liquid crystal composition has refractive index anisotropy (Δn) adjusted to a desired level, a sufficiently low viscosity (η), and a positive dielectric anisotropy (Δ∈) while degradation of the temperature range of the nematic phase is avoided by suppressing the decrease in nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature (Tni) and the increase in lower limit temperature of the nematic phase. The liquid crystal composition contains one or more compounds selected from compounds represented by general formula (LC0) and one or more compounds selected from a group of compounds represented by general formula (LC1) to general formula (LC5).

Abstract:
The nematic liquid crystal composition according to the present invention is used for, for example, producing a liquid crystal display element used in TN mode, OCB mode, ECB mode, IPS mode, or VA-IPS mode. The liquid crystal composition has a positive dielectric anisotropy and allows reductions in refractive-index anisotropy and nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature and an increase in the lower limit temperature of a nematic phase to be suppressed. As a result, the liquid crystal composition has a sufficiently low viscosity without deteriorating the temperature range of a nematic phase. The liquid crystal composition allows high-speed response and high display quality to be realized, suppresses faulty display, and is suitably used as a practical liquid crystal composition.
