According to one embodiment, a liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal layer exhibiting Kerr effect, a first electrode including combtooth portions, a second electrode, and protruding portions facing a main surface of the liquid crystal layer with at least one of the first and second electrodes interposed therebetween. The combtooth portions each extends in a first direction and are arranged in a second direction. The second electrode includes a portion that faces the main surface and is positioned in a gap between the combtooth portions or faces the main surface with the gap interposed therebetween. The protruding portions each extends in the first direction and are arranged in the second direction. Each of the first protruding portions forms a convex surface having a ridge shape on a surface of the combtooth portion or a surface of the portion of the second electrode positioned at the gap.

According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a support substrate, first electrodes, second electrodes, a counter substrate, and a liquid crystal layer. The first and second electrodes are provided on a surface of the support substrate. The first and second electrodes are alternately arranged. A counter substrate opposes the surface. The liquid crystal layer is held between the support substrate and the counter substrate. 0.7≦D/(L+S)≦2 is satisfied. L is an average width of at least two of the first electrodes and at least two of the second electrodes. S is an average distance between at least two pairs of adjacent ones of the first and second electrodes. D is a distance between the support substrate and the counter substrate.

According to one embodiment, a liquid crystal/polymer complex includes a liquid crystal material, a polymer, and a chiral agent. The liquid crystal material exhibits blue phase and contains liquid crystal molecules that are spirally arranged to form liquid crystal molecular cylinders having a spiral arrangement. The polymer maintains the arrangement and has a dendrimer-type structure including a dendrimer unit and a polymerizable unit bonded to an end of the dendrimer unit. The dendrimer unit contains a central atom and at least two branched structures bonded to the central atom and has a generation of two or more. The polymerizable unit contains a polymerizable group which can bond to a polymerizable group.
