A liquid crystal display which can provide a homogeneous display by preventing an abnormal orientation of a liquid crystal around the spacers or between the spacers during energization, and which comprises spacer particles each having, at least on the surface thereof, a nonionic hydrophilic unit represented by the following formula (1): <IMAGE> (1) wherein R represents a C1-C18 alkyl group, a C2-C18 alkenyl group, a C6-C18 aryl group, a C7-C18 alkylaryl group, a C1-C18 acyl group, a C2-C18 alkylcarbamoyl group, a C2-C18 acylcarbamoyl group or a C7-C18 arylcarbamoyl group; R1 represents a linear or branched alkylene group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms wherein a hydroxyl group may be substituted for a hydrogen atom on the alkylene group; and m is a positive number of 1 to 100 on the average, with the proviso that the plural R1's may be the same or different from each other.
