A liquid crystal composition satisfying at least one of characteristics such as a high maximum temperature of nematic phase, a low minimum temperature of nematic phase, small viscosity, suitable optical anisotropy, large positive dielectric anisotropy, large specific resistance, high stability to UV light and heat or a large elastic constant, or having a suitable balance regarding at least two of the characteristics, and an AM device having a short response time, a large voltage holding ratio, a low threshold voltage, a large contrast ratio and a long service life, etc. are described. The composition has a nematic phase and contains an additive that can suppress formation of an impurity, and a specific compound having large dielectric anisotropy as a first component, and may contain a specific compound having a high maximum temperature or small viscosity as a second component. The AM device is an LCD device including the composition. |
