Liquid crystal device and method for manufacturing same with spacers formed by photolithography

A liquid crystal device comprising:

• a pair of spaced apart members including a pair of substrates and at least an electrode arrangement provided on said substrates;
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between said pair of spaced apart members;
• a sealing member provided on the perimeter of said spaced apart members;
• and
• a plurality of resinous pillar-spaced spacers disposed between said pair of spaced apart members, said spacers having a bottom surface cured directly to one of said pair of spaced apart members and a top surface cured directly to the other of the pair of spaced apart members.
