Patent ID: 7468776

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising at least two sheets of transparent substrates, a liquid crystal layer sealed between the two sheets of transparent substrates, and a plurality of columnar spacers formed between the two sheets of transparent substrates for keeping a gap between the two sheets of transparent substrates at a specified gap, wherein a displacement amount between an 80 mN to 400 mN load is in a range of 0.1 mm to 08 mm, and a displacement amount between a 600 mN to 950 mN load is in a range of 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm at a time of applying a load by a measurement method in a direction so as to reduce the gap between the two sheets of transparent substrates to a display area of the two sheets of transparent substrates; wherein, by the measurement method, a deformation amount against the load is measured by applying the load in a vertical direction to a transparent substrate surface with an indenter having a 2 mmφ plane by a 2.22 mN/sec applied load contacted with either of the transparent substrate side under a 23° C. condition.
