    摘要: A device using a liquid crystal medium exhibiting an optically isotropic liquid crystal phase, particularly, a blue phase liquid crystal medium for polarized light control application, in which reduction of an effective dielectric constant in a high frequency region is suppressed. A liquid crystal composition contains achiral component T, and has a liquid crystal phase optically exhibiting isotropy, in which achiral component T contains at least one compound selected from the group of compounds represented by formula (1) as a first component, at least one compound selected from the group of compounds represented by formula (2) and formula (3) as a second component, and is used for optical switching for controlling retardation by electric field-induced birefringence.
