Claim Text:
1. A composition used in a liquid crystal display device, the composition consisting of: a compound represented by General Formula (i); a compound represented by General Formula (ii); a compound represented by General Formula (VIII-1); a compound represented by General Formula (I-1-1); a compound represented by General Formula (I-1-2), a compound represented by General Formula (L); a compound represented by General Formula (M); optionally a compound represented by General Formula (Q); and optionally a polymerizable compound; wherein the total amount of the compound represented by General Formula (I-1-1) and the compound represented by General Formula (I-1-2) is at least 31 mass % relative to the total amount of the composition, and the amount of the compound represented by General Formula (VIII-1) is in the range of 2 mass % to 8 mass % relative to the total amount of the composition, where R where R where R where R (a) a 1,4-cyclohexylene group in which one —CH 2 — group or two or more —CH 2 — groups not adjoining each other are optionally substituted with —O—, and (b) a 1,4-phenylene group in which one —CH═ group or two or more —CH═ groups not adjoining each other are optionally substituted with —N═, and the groups (a) and (b) are each independently optionally substituted with a cyano group, or a fluorine atom; L L1 and L L2 each independently represent a single bond, —CH 2 CH 2 —, —(CH 2 ) 4 —, —OCH 2 —, —CH 2 O—, —COO—, —OCO—, —OCF 2 —, —CF 2 O—, —CH═N—N═CH—, —CH═CH—, or —C≡C—; in the case where OL is 2 or 3 and where L L2 is multiple, the multiple L L2 's are the same as or different from each other; in the case where OL is 2 or 3 and where B L3 is multiple, the multiple B L3 's are the same as or different from each other; wherein the compound represented by General Formula (L) excludes the compound represented by General Formula (ii), the compound represented by General Formula (I-1-1), and the compound represented by General Formula (I-1-2), where R (d) a 1,4-cyclohexylene group in which one —CH 2 — group or two or more —CH 2 — groups not adjoining each other are optionally substituted with —O— or —S—, and (e) a 1,4-phenylene group in which one —CH═ group or two or more —CH═ groups not adjoining each other are optionally substituted with —N═, and the groups (d) and (e) are each independently optionally substituted with a cyano group, or a fluorine atom; K M1 and K M2 each independently represent a single bond, —CH 2 CH 2 —, —(CH 2 ) 4 —, —OCH 2 —, —CH 2 O—, —OCF 2 —, —CF 2 O—, —COO—, —OCO—, or —C≡C—; in the case where PM is 2 and where K M1 is multiple, the multiple K M1 's are the same as or different from each other; in the case where PM is 2 and where C M2 is multiple, the multiple C M2 's are the same as or different from each other; X M1 and X M3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, or a fluorine atom; X M2 represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a cyano group, a trifluoromethyl group, a fluoromethoxy group, a difluoromethoxy group, a trifluoromethoxy group, or a 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl group; and the compound represented by General Formula (M) excludes the compound represented by General Formula (i) and the compound represented by General Formula (VIII-1), where R Q represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms; at least one CH 2 group in the alkyl group is optionally substituted with —O—, —CH═CH—, —CO—, —OCO—, —COO—, —C≡C—, —CF 2 O—, or —OCF 2 — such that oxygen atoms do not directly adjoin each other; and M Q represents a trans-1,4-cyclohexylene group, a 1,4-phenylene group, or a single bond.
