Nematic liquid crystals with positive dielectric anisotropy are used in twisted nematic mode liquid crystal display elements, display elements that utilize the guest-host effect, and DS type display elements that utilize the dynamic scattering effect.
It is also used in DAP-type display elements that utilize the electric field-controlled birefringence effect. The liquid crystal used in these devices must exhibit a liquid crystal state over as wide a temperature range as possible from low temperatures to high temperatures, including room temperature, and must be stable against moisture, air, light, heat, and the like. However, there is currently no single compound that satisfies all of these conditions, and the objective has been achieved to some extent by using a liquid crystal composition that is a mixture of several types of liquid crystal compounds or non-liquid crystal compounds. ing. The present invention provides a liquid crystal compound useful as a component constituting such a stable liquid crystal composition with excellent practical performance. That is, the compound of the present invention has the general formula (In the above formula, R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms) 4-trans(trans-4'-alkylcyclohexyl)cyclohexylmethyl 4-

The compound of the present invention has a wide nematic temperature range but has a high melting point, so it cannot be used practically as a display element alone, but it has excellent compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds and has a high clearing point, so it can be used in other applications. P-type (positive dielectric anisotropy) or N-type (negative dielectric anisotropy) liquid crystal materials, such as biphenyl liquid crystal, ester liquid crystal, azoxy liquid crystal, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid phenyl ester type The clearing point can be raised by mixing it with one or more of liquid crystals, phenylcyclohexane liquid crystals, phenylpyrimidine liquid crystals, phenylmethadioxane liquid crystals, etc. Addition of the compound increases the response speed and is useful for obtaining an excellent liquid crystal composition with less temperature dependence. Furthermore, the compound of the present invention has a positive dielectric anisotropy △ε, but it is quite small, and despite this, it can be used to lower the operating voltage, and the temperature dependence of the operating voltage is also small, so it is suitable for dynamic driving liquid crystals. It is also useful as a constituent component.
