Liquid crystalline compounds suitable for driving at a low voltage and at a wide temperature range, and suitable for high speed response, liquid crystal compositions comprising the compound, and liquid crystal display devices comprising the liquid crystal composition. The crystalline compounds are ester compounds expressed by the general formula (1)
wherein R1 represents e.g. a hydrogen atom; A1 to A5 each independently represent e.g. 1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,4-phenylene, 1-cyclohexene-1,4-diyl, 3-cyclohexene-1,4-diyl, 1-sila-1,4-cyclohexylene, or 4-sila-1,4-cyclohexylene; bonding groups Za to Zd each independently represent e.g. a single bond, —CH2—, —O—, —C≡C—, or an alkylene group or alkenylene group having 2 to 4 carbon; bonding group Ze represents e.g. a single bond, an alkylene group or alkenylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; n1 to n3 are each independently 0 or 1, but n1≦n2≦n3; Y1 and Y2 each independently represent oxygen atom or sulfur atom; R2 represents e.g. a halogen atom, a straight chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or straight chain or branched alkenyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms; provided that when A5 represents unsubstituted 1,4-phenylene, then Zd is a single bond, and A4 is not 1,4-phenylene; and each atom which constitutes this compound may be replaced by its isotope.
