There is provided a liquid crystal composition which enables a significant reduction in crystallization temperature as compared with addition of a homologue while having a similar skeleton structure, which has an excellent compatibility, and which enables an increase in the absolute value of negative dielectric anisotropy (”µ). The liquid crystal composition contains two or more compounds which each have two to four ring structures between two side chains, in which at least one of the ring structures is a 2,3-difluorobenzene skeleton, and in which the two side chains are bonded to different ring structures, wherein the positions of the 2,3-difluorobenzene skeletons are different from each other, and the number of the ring structures are the same as each other. Assuming that the number of the ring structures is N, in the case where the two side chains have different molecular weights, the position of the ring structure to which the side chain having a larger molecular weight is bonded is defined as 1, the position of the ring structure to which the side chain having a smaller molecular weight is bonded is defined as N, and consecutive numbers are assigned from 1 to N, including the other one or more ring structures therebetween; in the case where the two side chains have the same molecular weight, the position of each ring structure to which a side chain is bonded is defined as 1, and the position of the ring structure to which no side chain is bonded is defined as 2. |
