<p>Disclosed 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 has an adequate balance between at least two of the above-mentioned characteristics. Also disclosed is an AM element having a short response time, high voltage holding ratio, high contrast ratio, long life and the like. The liquid crystal composition has negative dielectric anisotropy, and contains: a bicyclic compound having large negative dielectric anisotropy, wherein fluorine atoms or chlorine atoms are in at least three lateral positions, as a first component; a specific compound having large negative dielectric anisotropy as a second component; a specific compound having a low viscosity as a third component; and a specific compound having large negative dielectric anisotropy as a fourth component. A liquid crystal display element contains the composition.</p> |
