Substrate for liquid crystal display

A substrate for a liquid crystal display comprising at least a transparent substrate and a columnar spacer formed on the transparent substrate, wherein the substrate for a liquid crystal display is a following amount of an initial deformation A obtained by measuring the columnar spacer by a following measurement method is 0.04 μm or more, and a following amount of a plastic deformation B is 0.7 μm or less:

• measurement method:
• a compression load is applied in a axial direction of the columnar spacer up to 80 mN at a load applying speed of 22 mPa/sec and that state is maintained for 5 seconds;
• thereafter, a load is removed down to 0 mN at a load removing speed of 22 mPa/sec, and that state is maintained for 5 seconds,
• amount of initial deformation A:
• an amount of a compression deformation obtained by X−Y assuming that an initial height of the columnar spacer is X, and a height when a load F (mN) obtained by a following formula (1) is applied during an above load application is Y:
• F=19.6/n (1)
• (10≦n≦50, n is a density of a number of columnar spacers (pieces/mm2)), amount of plastic deformation B:
• an amount of a residual deformation obtained by X−Z assuming that the initial height of the columnar spacer is X and a height after removing the load and maintaining that state for 5 seconds is Z.
