Liquid crystal composition, liquid crystal display and method of manufacturing liquid crystal display

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display, the display comprising a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer intervening between the substrates and containing liquid crystal substances different from each other, comprising:

• determining a composition of the liquid crystal layer based on a sum of values each calculated from a formula:
• Xα(RTlogPα+HEα)
• for all components in the liquid crystal layer, wherein Xα denotes a molar fraction of a component α in the liquid crystal layer, Pα denotes a distribution ratio of the component α, HEα, denotes a hydration energy for 1 mol of the component α, R denotes a gas constant, and T denotes a temperature;
• and
• forming a structure comprising the liquid crystal layer intervening between the substrates and having the composition determined,
• wherein determination of the composition is carried out to make the sum be 32 kJ/mol or higher under a condition where the distribution ratio Pα is a distribution ratio of the component α between an aqueous phase and a 1-octanol phase, the gas constant R is 0.3 J/K-mol, and the temperature T is 300 K.
