Abstract: In an electro-optical element comprising a liquid crystal, such as a smectic liquid crystal, sealed between two substrates arranged to confront each other with a space of an order of .mu.m, if spacer particles for regulating the space between the substrates and phenol type curing agent-incorporated epoxy resin adhesive particles for moderating stresses generated by distortions or warps of the substrates are arranged in the space between the substrates, a minute uniform space, especially a uniform space of 1 to 3 .mu.m effective for a ferroelectric liquid crystal, can be maintained between the substrates. In this structure, alignmental films are not disturbed at all. Furthermore, even if a nematic or super-twist liquid crystal is used, a uniform space can be stably maintained between the substrates.

As a result of the adsorption of the aforesaid substance to the particles, the static build-up properties, electrical conductivity, color shade, and other properties of the particles may be modified, and also it is possible to impart ultraviolet light absorbing ability and to prevent blocking between the particles. These particles may be employed as formulation ingredients for cosmetics, paints, electrostatic copier toners etc.
