A liquid crystal display is provided having two substrates. One substrate includes active aperture areas and a non-active area. A spacing layer is provided between the two substrates and includes spacing elements of anisotropic shape and geometry. The anisotropic spacing elements are formed only within the non-active areas of the substrate. A method of manufacturing is also provided including mechanically rubbing the liquid crystal display after the spacing elements are formed on the one substrate.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A display cell comprising:two substrates with at least one of said two substrates divided into an active aperture area and a non-active area;a spacing layer, interposed between said two substrates, the spacing layer including an affixing layer and a plurality of spacing elements separate from one another, said spacing elements being anisotropic in shape, the affixing layer covering at least a portion of the non-active area and remaining substantially outside of the active aperture area, wherein said two substrates are affixed to each other after one of the two substrates and the plurality of spacing elements have been mechanically rubbed, the two substrates remaining substantially uniformly separated from each other by said spacing elements.
