Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate placed opposite each other; a first electrode provided on one side of the first substrate; a second electrode provided on one side of the second substrate; a first vertical alignment film provided on the one side of the first substrate; a second vertical alignment film provided on the one side of the second substrate; a plurality of columnar spacers disposed at least in a region where the first electrode and the second electrode are superimposed, the plurality of columnar spacers being provided between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first vertical alignment film is subject to an alignment treatment in one direction, wherein the liquid crystal layer has a pretilt angle during non-application of voltage, and wherein each of the plurality of columnar spacers has a profile, in a planar view, which is not orthogonal to and which is not parallel with an alignment direction of liquid crystal molecules at substantially a center of the liquid crystal layer in a layer thickness direction, or has a profile, in a planar view, which is not orthogonal to and which is not parallel with a direction of the alignment treatment.
