Abstract

A liquid developer for use in electrophotography which is prepared by dispersing a pigment or dye and a resin in a carrier liquid comprising a nonaqueous solvent having a high insulating property and a low dielectric constant, wherein said resin comprises those obtained by grafting, upon a copolymer comprising a monomer having the general formula ##STR1## [wherein R is --H or --CH.sub.3 and X is a phenyl group, a methylphenyl group, --COOC.sub.n H.sub.2n+1 (1.ltoreq.n.ltoreq.20) or --COOC.sub.2 H.sub.4 N(C.sub.m H.sub.2m+1).sub.2 (1.ltoreq.m.ltoreq.5)], a monomer having a glycidyl group and a unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride, in particular the unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride when the copolymer has the glycidyl group as the constitution unit, and the monomer having a glycidyl group when the copolymer has the unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride as the constitution unit.
