Claims (32)

1. A liquid crystal composition, comprising:

5 to 15% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 1;

25 to 40% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 2;

10 to 25% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 3;

20 to 30% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 4;

15 to 25% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 5;

at least one compound selected from a group consisting of 0.1 to 10% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 6

and 0.1 to 10% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 7; and

0 to 10% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 8,

wherein X and Y are each R1 or OR2, and R1 and R2 are each an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbons or alkenyl group having 2 to 5 carbons.

2. The liquid crystal composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound in which at least one of X and Y comprises the alkenyl group is 5% by weight or less of the liquid crystal composition.

3. The liquid crystal composition of claim 1 , wherein a dielectric anisotropy of the liquid crystal composition is −2.7 to −5.8.

5. The liquid crystal composition of claim 1 , wherein a rotational viscosity of the liquid crystal composition is 87 mPa·s to 165 mPa·s.

6. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a first substrate comprising a thin film transistor and a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor;

a second substrate facing the first substrate and comprising a common electrode; and

a liquid crystal composition disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal composition comprising:

5 to 15% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 1;

25 to 40% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 2;

10 to 25% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 3;

20 to 30% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 4;

15 to 25% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 5;

at least one compound selected from a group consisting of 0.1 to 10% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 6

and 0.1 to 10% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 7; and

0 to 10% by weight of at least one compound of a following chemical formula 8,

wherein X and Y are each R1 or OR2, and R1 and R2 are each an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbons or alkenyl group having 2 to 5 carbons.

7. The liquid crystal display device of claim 6 , wherein the compound in which at least one of X and Y comprises the alkenyl group is 5% by weight or less of the liquid crystal composition.

8. The liquid crystal display device of claim 6 , wherein a dielectric anisotropy of the liquid crystal composition is −2.7 to −5.8.

9. The liquid crystal display device of claim 6 , wherein an optical anisotropy of the liquid crystal composition is 0.075 to 0.109.

10. The liquid crystal display device of claim 6 , wherein a rotational viscosity of the liquid crystal composition is 87 mPa·s to 165 mPa·s.

11. The liquid crystal display device of claim 6 , wherein the pixel electrode comprises a pixel electrode cutting pattern, and the common electrode comprises a common electrode cutting pattern.
