Abstract
The present invention provides a spacer for a liquid crystal display which is excellent in light shielding properties, does not suffer from fading even after the lapse of a long period, thus being excellent in long-term reliability, and has satisfactory strengths and a liquid crystal display made by using the spacer. The above spacer is composed of colored fine particles prepared by copolymerizing a polymerizable anthraquinone dye having at least one ethylenically unsaturated bond in the molecule with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component in an aqueous medium.
