Liquid crystal composition, element and liquid crystal lens or a birefringent lens for stereoscopic image display

A liquid crystal composition, comprising

• at least one compound selected from compounds represented by Formula (1),
• in Formula (1),
• R1 is hydrogen, a halogen, or an alkyl having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, provided that in this alkyl, at least one —CH2— may be substituted with —O— or —S—, and at least one —(CH2)2— may be substituted with —CH═CH— or —C≡C—, and in these groups, at least one hydrogen may be substituted with a halogen;
• ring A1 is 1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,4-cyclohexenylene, 1,4-phenylene, tetrahydropyran-2,5-diyl, 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl, pyrimidine-2,5-diyl, 2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diyl, naphthalene-2,6-diyl, or pyridine-2,5-diyl, provided that at least one hydrogen on these rings may be substituted with a halogen or an alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
• L11, L12, L13, L14, L15, and L16 are each hydrogen, a halogen, an alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkyl having 3 to 5 carbon atoms;
• Y11 and Y12 are each hydrogen, a halogen, or an alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
• and
• at least one of L11, L12, L13, L14, L15, L16, Y11, and Y12 is an alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
