<p>The invention provides a liquid crystal compound having general physical properties necessary for a liquid crystal compound, that is to say, stability to heat, light or the like, a small viscosity, a suitable value of refractive index anisotropy, a suitable value of dielectric anisotropy, steep characteristics electro-optic characteristics, a wide temperature range of a nematic phase and an excellent compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds, and a liquid crystal compounds especially having a wide temperature range of a nematic phase. A compound represented by formula (1).
For example, R 1 and R 2 are each independently alkyl having 1 to 9 carbons or alkenyl having 2 to 9 carbons, alkoxy having 1 to 8 carbons or alkenyloxy having 2 to 8 carbons; Q 1 and Q 4 are each independently fluorine or chlorine; Q 2 and Q 3 are each independently hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, and one of Q 2 and Q 3 is hydrogen; Z is -CH 2 O or -COO-; and h is 1 or 2.</p> |
