Abstract

Liquid crystalline compositions, especially for displays with a twisted nematic phase, comprising at least one compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein X=H, --CHO or --CH.sub.3, R.sup.1 =C.sub.1 --C.sub.10 alkyl, R.sup.2 is a monovalent organic group, for example, --CN; and Y is a single bond or one of the groups --COO-- or ##STR2## The compositions show a high positive dielectric anisotropy (.DELTA..epsilon.), a high .DELTA.n, and a low viscosity, and the mixture system may comprise relatively few components.
