Abstract: A precipitation liquid (6) held under temperature
control is stirred at a desired speed in a glass container
(3). A small amount of a raw material solution (5) having
an organic raw material dissolved therein is injected into
the precipitation liquid (6) by using a syringe (4) or the
like to granulate fine organic particles (7) in the
precipitation liquid (6). The raw material solution (5) is
prepared by dissolving the organic raw material in a low-boiling
point solvent having a lower boiling point than
that of the precipitation liquid (6) and having a higher
dissolvability for the organic raw material than that of
the precipitation liquid. With this method, fine organic
particles (7) having a particle size of 20 µm to 300 µm
are obtained in the precipitation liquid (6). Thus, fine
organic particles suitable for use in an electric twist
ball display can be mass-produced at reduced costs without
