<p>Disclosed is a 1-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalene derivative which has a negative dielectric anisotropy having an extremely large absolute value, is chemically stable against heat, light, water and the like, and has excellent compatibility with a conventional liquid crystal compound or a conventional liquid crystal composition. The derivative is suitable as a component of a practically useful liquid crystal composition that can be driven at a low voltage. Also disclosed is a liquid crystal composition using the compound, which is useful as a component of a liquid crystal display element that can be driven at a low voltage and consumes less power, and which can be suitably used in a liquid crystal display element of VA-type, IPS-type or the like.</p> |
