Abstract

Abstract Polyphenyl-based liquid crystal compounds represented by the following general formula (1) and liquid crystal composition containing the same: wherein R' represents a straight or branched C 1-18 alkyl group, haloalkyl group, aralkyl group or haloaralkyl group with or without optically active carbon, R 2 represents a straight or branched C 1-6 alkyl group, haloalkyl group or aralkyl group with or without optically active carbon, W represents single bond, -O-, -OCOO-, -OCO- or -COO-, T represents a halogen atom or a methyl group, but when W is selected from the group consisting of single bond, -O- or -OCOO- T is only a halogen atom, X represents -OCO-, - COO-, -C=C-, -CH=N-, -N=CH, Y represents single bond, -0-, -COO-, -OCO-, -CH 2 -, -OCH 2 -, -COOCH,- or - OCOCH 2 -, Z, and Z 2 represent a hydrogen or halogen atom, a cyano group or nitro group, Z, may be the same or different from Z 2 , n and m are one or more than one each and a total of n and m is three or more than three, the carbon atom marked with * is an asymmetric carbon atom.
