Abstract
A magnetic display system which comprises a display having a non-magnetic substrate and a microcapsule coating layer provided on the substrate, with sealed magnetic particles having an excellently light-absorptive surface characteristic and also sealed non-magnetic particles having an excellent light-reflective characteristic. Both the magnetic and non-magnetic particles are dispersed or dissolved in an oily liquid in the microcapsules. A magnetic device for reversing the position of the light-absorptive magnetic particles and light-reflective non-magnetic particles in the microcapsules is provided. The magnetic device causes a local shift by attraction of the light-absorptive magnetic particles in the microcapsule coating layer of the display to the front side thereof to thereby invert the position of the light-reflective non-magnetic particles in the corresponding areas, thereby forming characters or images.
