ABSTRACT:
In a display device of the type wherein a display state is selected by rotation of polarized colored balls, the colored balls are formed from a paraelectric material, and the charged state of each colored ball is provided by an electret-forming treatment due to charge-injection to a minute colored ball per se of a paraelectric material or a film of a paraelectric material coating a minute ball. As a result, a colored ball having an increased charge can be produced stably from an inexpensive material.
