1. A liquid crystal display comprising
two substrates on which alignment films for orienting liquid crystal in a predetermined direction are formed, the alignment films facing each other across a predetermined gap by a sealing material to bond the pair of substrates between which a liquid crystal layer is sandwiched, wherein
the sealing material contains a filler having a mean particle size of less than 0.5 μm and a maximum particle size of 1.5 μm or less,
the liquid crystal material used in the liquid crystal layer has a refractive index anisotropy at room temperature of 0.16 or more, and a cell mean gap is substantially 3 μm at a relative contrast ration of 1.
