Reference 3). Such foreign matter induces the generation of dripping marks, and the deterioration of the yield of the liquid crystal display element due to display failure is a problem. In addition, when adding additives such as antioxidants and light absorbers to the liquid crystal composition, deterioration of yield becomes a problem.

Abstract
Description
従来、γ1の小さい液晶組成物を構成するためには、ジアルキルビシクロヘキサン骨格を有する化合物を用いることが一般的であった(特許文献1参照)。しかしながら、ビシクロヘキサン系化合物はγ1の低減には効果が高いものの、一般に蒸気圧が高くアルキル鎖長の短い化合物は特にその傾向が顕著である。又、Tniも低い傾向があることからそのため、アルキルビシクロヘキサン系化合物は側鎖長の合計が炭素原子数7以上の化合物を用いることが多く、側鎖長の短い化合物については十分な検討がなされていないのが実情であった。
A3は1,4-シクロヘキシレン基、1,4-フェニレン基又はテトラヒドロピラン-2,5-ジイル基を表すが、A3が1,4-フェニレン基を表す場合、該1,4-フェニレン基中の1つ以上の水素原子はフッ素原子に置換されていてもよく、

Bは1,4-フェニレン基、トランスー1,4-シクロヘキシレン基又は単結合を表し、式中の全ての1,4-フェニレン基は、任意の水素原子がフッ素原子により置換されていても良い。)で表されるニ官能モノマーが好ましい。
を表すことが好ましく、式(VIIa-1)から式(VIIa-3)を表すことがより好ましく、式(VIIa-1)を表すことが特に好ましい。
本発明の液晶組成物にモノマーを添加する場合において、重合開始剤が存在しない場合でも重合は進行するが、重合を促進するために重合開始剤を含有していてもよい。重合開始剤としては、ベンゾインエーテル類、ベンゾフェノン類、アセトフェノン類、ベンジルケタール類、アシルフォスフィンオキサイド類等が挙げられる。また、保存安定性を向上させるために、安定剤を添加しても良い。使用できる安定剤としては、例えば、ヒドロキノン類、ヒドロキノンモノアルキルエーテル類、第三ブチルカテコール類、ピロガロール類、チオフェノール類、ニトロ化合物類、β-ナフチルアミン類、β-ナフトール類、ニトロソ化合物等が挙げられる。
