/Liquid Crystal Composition, Cured Product, Film, And Compound
Abstract

A liquid crystal composition is provided that enables formation of films with improved alignment properties and reduced visible non-uniformity. The composition includes a liquid crystal compound and a compound represented by Formula (1), B—Z1-A1-Z2-A2-(Z3-A3)n1—W, in which A1 to A3 each independently represent a divalent aromatic ring group or a divalent aliphatic ring group, Z1 to Z3 each independently represent a single bond or a divalent linking group, n1 represents an integer of 0 or more, B represents a monovalent aromatic ring group substituted with one or more siloxane-containing substituents, and W represents hydrogen or a monovalent substituent not including silicon. Also provided are a cured product and a film formed from the composition.
