Provided are a liquid-crystal compound and a liquid-crystal composition containing the compound, of which the advantages are that they show nematic hybrid orientation on a rubbed TAC substrate, they are polymerizable in open air and they readily give a polymer having a high degree of polymerization even when exposed to a relatively small total quantity of light. The films formed by photopolymerizing them keep nematic hybrid orientation. The compound is represented by formula (1):
wherein R
1
is a hydrogen or an alkyl; R
2
is a hydrogen, —OCF
3
, etc.; A
1
is a 1,4-phenylene, etc.; A
2
and A
3
are independently a 1,4-cyclohexylene, a 1,4-phenylene, etc.; X
1
is a single bond, —O—, etc.; X
2
and X
3
are independently a single bond, —COO—, —C≡C—, —CONH—, etc.; m is an integer of from 0 to 20; and n is 1 or 0.
提供了一种液晶化合物和含有该化合物的液晶组合物,其优点是在擦过的TAC基板上显示向列杂化取向,可以在空气中聚合,并且即使暴露于相对较小的光总量下也很容易产生高度聚合的聚合物。用光聚合它们形成的薄膜保持向列杂化取向。该化合物由式(1)表示:其中R1是氢或烷基;R2是氢,—OCF3等;A1是1,4-苯撑等;A2和A3分别是1,4-环己撑,1,4-苯撑等;X1是单键,—O—等;X2和X3分别是单键,—COO—,—C≡C—,—CONH—等;m是0到20的整数;n是1或0。
