To provide a liquid crystal compound showing a large absolute value of dielectric anisotropy (|&Dgr;∈|. A compound is represented by formula (1): wherein, in formula (1), Ra and Rb are fluorine, alkyl having 1 to 10 carbons or the like, and in the alkyl, at least one of —CH2— may be replaced by —O— or the like, however, Ra and Rb are not identical; A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 are 1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,4-phenylene or the like, and in the groups, at least one of hydrogen may be replaced by fluorine; Z1, Z2, Z4 and Z5 are a single bond or the like; Y1, Y2, Y3 and Y4 are hydrogen, fluorine or the like; and m, n, q and r are 0, 1 or 2, and a sum of m, n, q and r is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. |
