A liquid crystal microcapsule, comprising a liquid crystal and a polyurea film encapsulating the liquid crystal, wherein at least one of an alkyl group and a fluoroalkyl group is bonded directly or indirectly via a urethane bond to the polyurea. A method of producing a liquid crystal microcapsule, comprising: forming a polyurea and the film thereof by allowing an aligner, which is a compound having a hydroxyl group and at least one of an alkyl group and a fluoroalkyl group, to react with a polyisocyanate, a polyamine, and water; and encapsulating a liquid crystal with the film. A liquid crystal display device using the liquid crystal microcapsule. |
