A compound represented by the following general formula (I), a liquid crystal composition comprising the same, and a liquid crystal element using this liquid crystal composition. ##STR1## (wherein B.sub.1 and B.sub.2 represent independently a trans-1,4-cyclohexylene group or a 1,4-phenylene group wherein at least one hydrogen atom on the six-membered ring is optionally substituted by a halogen atom, Y represents a halogen-substituted alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a halogen-substituted alkoxy group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a cyano group, a fluorine atom or a chlorine atom, X represents a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom or a hydrogen atom, R.sub.1 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, n and m represent independently 1 or 2 and p represents 0 or 1.) The compound of the present invention exhibits a large dielectric anisotropy, low threshold voltage, and favorable temperature-dependency of threshold voltage, as well as a favorable miscibility with a known liquid crystal compound, and therefore a liquid crystal composition comprising the compound can provide low voltage-operable liquid crystal display elements.
由以下一般公式(I)表示的化合物,包含相同化合物的液晶组合物,以及使用该液晶组合物的液晶元件。其中B.sub.1和B.sub.2分别代表一个trans-1,4-环己亚基或一个1,4-苯亚基,其中六元环上至少一个氢原子可以选择性地被卤素原子取代,Y代表具有1至3个碳原子的卤素取代烷基基团,具有1至3个碳原子的卤素取代烷氧基团,氰基,氟原子或氯原子,X代表氟原子,氯原子或氢原子,R.sub.1代表具有1至10个碳原子的烷基基团或具有1至10个碳原子的烷氧基团,n和m分别独立地代表1或2,p代表0或1。本发明的化合物具有较大的介电各向异性,低阈值电压,以及阈值电压的良好温度依赖性,以及与已知液晶化合物的良好互溶性,因此包含该化合物的液晶组合物可以提供低电压操作的液晶显示元件。
