1. A liquid crystal display element comprising:

  • a spacer located between a pair of substrates for maintaining a gap between the substrates;

    a liquid crystal layer sealed between the substrates, said layer comprising liquid crystal material and a polymer, wherein said spacer comprises elastically deformable material whose elasticity is such that a sum of a force causing elastic deformation of said spacer and a counterveiling internal pressure of said liquid crystal layer confined by maid spacer and substrates is constantly approximately equal to atmospheric pressure throughout changes in temperature within a range of storage temperatures of the liquid crystal display element, said spacer is located directly on at least one of said pair of substrates, and said spacer structure is at least partially hollow.
