ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to electrically controlled switching devices in which a movable member can occupy at least two stable positions. The invention has for its object to provide a switching device in which the movable member is a dielectric body having received a persistent electric charge. This body can occupy stable positions defined on an insulating support by conductive pads. The switching is produced by a potential difference applied between the conductive pads.
