ABSTRACT:
A liquid crystal composition comprising at least one mesomorphic compound represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 respectively denote a linear or branched alkyl group having 1-16 carbon atoms optionally substituted; Z.sub.1 denotes a single bond, --O--, --COO-- or --OCO--; X.sub.1 denotes halogen; and A.sub.1 denotes a single bond or ##STR2## and at least one mesomorphic compound represented by the following formula (II): ##STR3## wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 respectively denote an alkyl group having 2-16 carbon atoms optionally substituted; Y.sub.1 denotes a single bond, ##STR4## Z.sub.2 and Z.sub.3 respectively denote a single bond, --O--, ##STR5## A.sub.2 and A.sub.3 respectively denote a single bond, ##STR6## X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 respectively denote hydrogen, F, Cl, Br, --CH.sub.3, --CN or --CF.sub.3 ; and k is 0 or 1 with the proviso that Z.sub.2 is a single bond when A.sub.2 is a single bond, and Z.sub.3 is a single bond when A.sub.3 is a single bond and k is 0. The liquid crystal composition is easily aligned by a simple rubbing method to provide a uniform monodomain and further provides wider driving voltage and temperature margins effective for providing a practical ferroelectric liquid crystal device.
