Patent ID: 8647530

Claim:
A liquid crystal composition containing a polymerizable compound, comprising a first component and a second component, wherein the first component includes one or two or more compounds selected from the group consisting of polymerizable compounds having the general formula (I), and (wherein S 11 and S 12 independently denote an alkylene group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or a single bond, and one —CH 2 — or nonadjacent two or more —CH 2 — in the alkylene group may be substituted by —O—, —COO—, —OCO—, or —OCOO—, L 11 and L 12 independently denote a single bond, —O—, —CO—, —COO—, —OCO—, or —C≡C—, m denotes 0 or 1, and X 11 to X 22 independently denote an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a trifluoromethyl group, a trifluoromethoxy group, a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, or a hydrogen atom) the second component includes one or two or more non-polymerizable liquid crystal compounds having an alkenyl group.
