Abstract
A liquid crystal composition contains an achiral component T and a chiral dopant and exhibiting an optically isotropic liquid crystal phase. The achiral component T contains at least one compound represented by formula (1).In formula (1), R1 is alkyl having 1 to 12 carbons, alkenyl having 2 to 12 carbons, or alkoxy having 1 to 11 carbons, ring A1 and ring A2 independently represent one of the following formulae:Z1, Z2 and Z3 are independently a single bond, —(CH2)2—, —COO—, —CF2O— or —CH═CH—, X1 is hydrogen, halogen, —CF3, —OCF3 or —C≡N, L1, L2, L3 and L4 are independently hydrogen or halogen, and i is 0, 1 or 2.
