The present invention provides a compound represented by formula (i), a liquid crystal composition using the compound, and a liquid crystal display device using the liquid crystal composition. The compound represented by formula (i) has a partial structure K
i1
represented by any of general formulas (K-1) to (K-17) and further has ring B having at least two P-Sp- groups. Therefore, when used for a liquid crystal composition, the compound adsorbs to substrates sandwiching the liquid crystal composition (liquid crystal layer) and allows liquid crystal molecules to be held such that they are aligned in a vertical direction without a PI layer, and improved alignment stability and low-temperature storage stability can be achieved.
本发明提供了一种由式(i)表示的化合物,使用该化合物的液晶组合物,以及使用该液晶组合物的液晶显示装置。式(i)表示的化合物具有由一般式(K-1)至(K-17)中的任何一个表示的部分结构Ki1,并且进一步具有至少两个P-Sp-基团的环B。因此,当用于液晶组合物时,该化合物吸附到夹持液晶组合物(液晶层)的基板上,并允许液晶分子被保持,使它们在垂直方向上对齐而无需
PI层,并且可以实现改善的对齐稳定性和低温储存稳定性。
