PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystalline compound having high stability to light, a high clearing point, a low minimum temperature of a liquid crystal phase, low viscosity, a suitable optical anisotropy, a large dielectric anisotropy, a suitable elastic modulus and excellent compatibility with other liquid crystalline compounds.SOLUTION: Disclosed are a compound expressed by formula (1), a liquid crystal composition containing the compound, and a liquid crystal display element including the composition. In the formula, Rrepresents an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or the like; ring A, ring Aand ring Aeach independently represent a 1,4-cyclohexylene group, a 1,4-phenylene group, or the like; Zand Zeach independently represent a single bond, -(CH)-, -CH=CH-, -CFO-, -CHO-, or the like; Zrepresents -CFO-; L, Land Leach independently represent a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom; and m and n independently represent 0, 1, 2 or 3. |
