Abstract

The present invention is an optically active liquid crystal compound shown in the following general formula; ##STR1## [wherein, A and B respectively show one of --, --O--, ##STR2## (-- shows direct bond), one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 shows direct chain alkyl group and the other one shows either alkyl group having asymmetric carbon atom or alkoxy alkyl group having asymmetric carbon atom and ether bonding. Also, onto the asymmetric carbon atom, one of the groups --CH.sub.3, --CN, --Cl is added.] It is clear that there are many compounds in these liquid crystal compounds, that show Sm C* phase in a wide temperature range close to room temperature and that have high response speed.
