<p>Provided is a liquid crystal composition, which satisfies at least one of such characteristics as high upper limit temperature of the nematic phase, low lower limit temperature of the nematic phase, low viscosity, adequate optical anisotropy, large negative dielectric anisotropy, high resistivity, high stability with respect to ultraviolet light and high stability with respect to heat, or which has an adequate balance among at least two of the above-mentioned characteristics. Also provided is an AM element which has a short response time, high voltage holding ratio, high contrast ratio, long life and the like. The liquid crystal composition contains a specific compound that has a polymerizable group as a first component and a specific compound that has a large negative dielectric anisotropy and a low lower limit temperature as a second component. The liquid crystal composition may also contain a specific compound that has a small viscosity and a high upper limit temperature as a third component. The liquid crystal display element contains this composition.</p> |
