Abstract:
1. An optically isotropic liquid crystal composition having a liquid crystal component comprising a liquid crystal component A consisting of one or more compounds represented by general formula (1-1) or (1-2) and chiral dopants, wherein in the liquid crystal component, the content of compounds having 3 to 5 ring structures is approximately 15 wt % or more, and wherein in formulae (1-1) and (1-2): R Ring A Z Z L X l, m, n and o are each independently 0 or 1; and l+m+n+o≧1; wherein the liquid crystal component does not contain a liquid crystal component D consisting of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by general formulae (7) to (9), and wherein in the formulae: R Ring D Z wherein the liquid crystal component has a value of Δn×Δε≧3.39, when there is no chiral dopant.
