<p>This invention provides a liquid crystal composition, which has a broad nematic phase temperature range, has proper optical anisotropy, has large negative permittivity anisotropy, and has a large specific resistance value, a liquid crystal composition, which can increase optical anisotropy while satisfying the above properties and has a lower limit temperature in its nematic phase, preferably -20ºC or below, and a liquid crystal display element comprising this composition. The liquid crystal composition is a liquid crystal composition having negative permittivity anisotropy, comprising a first component, which is a liquid crystalline compound containing terphenyl in which one or two hydrogen atoms have been substituted by a fluorine atom, and a second component, which is a liquid crystalline compound containing phenylene in which two hydrogen atoms have been substituted by a halogen atom. The liquid crystal display element comprises this liquid crystal composition.</p> |
