Liquid crystal composition and liquid crystal display device

摘要

The present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition which has particularly a high upper limit temperature of a nematic phase, a low lower limit temperature of the nematic phase and a small birefringence while satisfying general characteristics required for the liquid crystal composition for an AM-LCD. Liquid crystal compositions are disclosed which comprise a component I comprising at least one compound selected from the group of compounds represented by Formula (I-1) or (I-2) as described in the specification, a component II comprising at least one compound selected from the group of compounds represented by Formulas (II-1) to (II-8) as described in the specification and a component III comprising at least one compound selected from the group of compounds represented by Formulas (III-1) to (III-5) as described in the specification.
