<p>Disclosed are: a liquid crystal composition which satisfies at least one property selected from a high upper temperature limit of a nematic phase thereof, a low lower temperature limit of a nematic phase thereof, a low viscosity, high optical anisotropy, high negative dielectric anisotropy, a high specific resistivity, high stability against ultraviolet ray, high stability against heat and the like, or which has a proper balance between at least two properties selected from the above-mentioned properties; and an AM element having a short response time, a high voltage holding ratio, a high contrast ratio, a long service life and the like. Specifically disclosed are: a liquid crystal composition which comprises a specific compound having high negative optical anisotropy as a first component and a specific bicyclic compound having a particularly low viscosity as a second component, and which exhibits a nematic phase; and a liquid crystal display element comprising the composition.</p> |
