Abstract
A liquid developer for electrostatic photography is disclosed. The liquid developer comprises a resin dispersed as grains in a non-aqueous solvent having an electrical resistance of 10.sup.9 .OMEGA.cm or more and a dielectric constant of 3.5 or less, which is characterized in that the dispersed resin grains are copolymer resin grains obtained by polymerizing a solution containing at least one monofunctional monomer (A) which is soluble in the non-aqueous solvent but becomes insoluble therein after polymerization and at least one monofunctional macromonomer (B) which is composed of a polymer moiety having a repeating unit of the following formula (I) and a copolymerizable double bond-containing group of the following formula (II) bonded to only one terminal of the main chain of the polymer moiety and which has a number average molecular weight of 1.times.10.sup.4 or less, in the presence of a resin which is soluble in the non-aqueous solvent and which contains no graft group capable of polymerizing with the monomers; ##STR1## In formula (I), X represents --COO--, --OCO--, --CH.sub.2 OCO--, --CH.sub.2 COO--, --O--, --SO.sub.2 --, ##STR2## R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms;
