The present invention relates to a new low-viscosity liquid crystal substance that exhibits a liquid crystal phase over a wide temperature range, and to a liquid crystal composition containing the same. Display elements using liquid crystals have come to be widely used in watches, calculators, etc. This liquid crystal display element utilizes the properties of optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystal materials, and there are three liquid crystal phases: nematic liquid crystal phase, smectic liquid crystal phase, and cholesteric liquid crystal phase, among which nematic liquid crystal is used. The one that has been put into practical use is the most widely used. That is, they include TN (twisted nematic) type, DS (dynamic scattering type), guest-host type, DAP type, etc.
The properties required of the liquid crystal materials used for each type are different. However, in any case, it is desirable that the liquid crystal substances used in these display elements exhibit a liquid crystal phase over as wide a range as possible in nature, but there is currently no single substance that satisfies such conditions. Currently, materials that can be put to practical use are obtained by mixing several types of liquid crystal substances or non-liquid crystal substances. In addition, these materials must of course be stable against moisture, light, heat, air, etc., and the threshold voltage and saturation voltage necessary to drive the display element must be as low as possible, and the response speed must be as low as possible. In order to speed up the process, it is desirable that the viscosity be as low as possible. By the way, in order to widen the liquid crystal temperature range toward higher temperatures, it is necessary to use a liquid crystal substance with a high melting point as a component, but liquid crystal substances with a high melting point generally have a high viscosity, and therefore the liquid crystal composition containing it also has a high viscosity. As the temperature increases, the response speed of liquid crystal display elements that can be used at high temperatures, for example, up to about 80° C., particularly at low temperatures, tends to become significantly slower. However, the present inventors found a liquid crystal material with a high liquid crystal temperature range and low viscosity, and arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention is based on the general formula (In the above formula, R and R' represent an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms,

A tricyclic carboxylic acid ester derivative represented by the following formula and a liquid crystal composition containing the same. The compound of the present invention has a high liquid crystal clearing point and low viscosity, and by adding it as a component of the composition, the clearing point can be raised without increasing the viscosity of the liquid crystal composition. It also has good stability against moisture, heat, light, etc. Next, a method for producing the compound of the present invention will be described. The desired product can be produced by reacting the corresponding carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride to form an acid chloride, and then reacting with an alkyl alcohol in the presence of pyridine. If the above is expressed as a chemical formula, (R and R' are the same as above) It can also be obtained by reacting a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. The compounds of the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples below. Example 1 [trans-4-[4-(trans-4
