A task to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition which has a satisfactorily low solid phase-nematic phase transition temperature (Ton), a satisfactorily small viscosity (η), a satisfactorily small rotational viscosity (γ1), a large elastic constant (K33), and a negative dielectric anisotropy (Δε), the absolute value of which is large, without having lowered the refractive index anisotropy (Δn) and nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase transition temperature (Tni), and further to provide a liquid crystal display element of a VA mode or the like using the same, which has excellent display quality such that the element is free of or has suppressed a display failure, and which has high response speed. Provided are a liquid crystal composition comprising one kind or two or more kinds of compounds having an alkenyl side chain in the liquid crystal composition, wherein the total content of the compounds having an alkenyl side chain in the liquid crystal composition is from 5 to 100% by mass, and a liquid crystal display element using the same. |
