LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF SPACER, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE USING THE SPACER

摘要

The present invention relates to spacers for liquid crystal display elements, and is aimed at improving a light passing phenomenon by controlling the orientation of liquid crystal molecules around spacer. This object is realized by polymer particles having long-chain alkyl groups held at surfaces thereof. These polymer particles are used as a spacer for a liquid crystal element so that the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules around the spacer by a layer of the long-chain alkyl groups.
