A liquid-crystalline medium comprising
- at least one compound of formula I
- and
- at least one compound of formula II
- in which
- L1, L2, L3 and L4 are each, independently of one another, H or F;
- R11 is H, a halogenated or unsubstituted alkyl radical having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, where, in addition, one or more CH2 groups in these radicals may each be replaced, independently of one another, by —C≡C—, —CH═CH—, —O—, —CO—O—or —O—CO— in such a way that O atoms are not linked directly to one another;

- Y11 is F, Cl, CN, SF5, SCN, NCS, a halogenated alkyl radical, a halogenated alkenyl radical, a halogenated alkoxy radical or a halogenated alkenyloxy radical, each having up to 6 carbon atoms;
- Z11 is a single bond,
