An object of the present invention is to provide organosilicon compounds having an excellent miscibility with other liquid crystal materials, low viscosity, and improved threshold voltage; to provide liquid crystal compositions comprising the organosilicon compound; and to provide liquid crystal display devices comprising the liquid crystal composition. The organosilicon compounds are expressed by the general formula (1) <CHEM> wherein at least one of Ra, Rb, Z1, Z2, and Z3 has -SiH2-; Ra represents hydrogen atom or an alkyl grouop having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; at least one -CH2- in the alkyl group may be replaced by -SiH2-, -O-, -S-, -CO-, -CH=CH-, -C IDENTICAL C-, or 1,3-cyclobutylene; Rb represents a group selected from Ra, a halogen atom, or CN; each of A, A1, A2, and A3 represents a divalent cyclic group; Z1, Z2 and Z3 independently represent a covalent bond or -(CH2)p-; at least one -CH2- in the (CH2)p- may be replaced by -SiH2-, -O-, -S-, -CO-, -CH=CH-, or -C IDENTICAL C-; p is an integer of 1 to 4; and m, n, and o are independently 0 or 1. |
