A liquid crystal composition includes one or more of compounds represented by general formula (i) below and one or more of compounds represented by general formula (ii) below. In the formulae, R 11a and R 21a each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms where one -CH 2 - or two or more non-adjacent -CH 2 - in the alkyl group may each independently be substituted with -CH=CH-, - C=C-, -O-, -CO-, -COO-, or -OCO-; one or more hydrogen atoms in the alkyl group may be substituted with a fluorine atom or a chlorine atom; X 11a , X 12a , X 13a , X 14a , and X 21a each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom; A 21a , A 22a , and A 23a each independently represent a trans-1, 4-cyclohexylene group or a 1,4-phenylene group whose hydrogen atom may be substituted with a fluorine atom or a chlorine atom. |
