The Li x WO 3 electrode is formed by depositing WO 3 on the conductor to a thickness of about 0.1 μm to 1 μm by vapor deposition or sputtering, and then
It can be produced by setting the WO 3 coating side as a negative electrode and providing a positive electrode on the other side, immersing the electrode in a solution containing Li + , for example, a propylene carbonate solution of LiClO 4 , and applying a voltage.

By the way, as is clear from equations (1) and (2), the coloring and erasing characteristics of the display device are the best for display.
It greatly depends not only on the properties of the WO 3 film but also on the properties of the counter electrode Li x WO 3 . In particular, it depends on the electrode potential of the reaction at the counter electrode corresponding to equation (2).

However, this drawback can be overcome by the present invention. In the present invention, WO 3 is formed on a part of the conductor, and the conductor and the reactive metal are brought into contact with a part of the conductor.
It is characterized by immersing both the WO 3 conductor and the metal in a solution containing Li ions. By doing this, for example, when using a propylene carbonate solution of LiClO 4 with a concentration of about 1 mol/mol/ml, M + mLiClO 4 M(ClO 4 ) n + mLi + +me - WO 3 +xLi + +xe - Li x WO 3 (3). A battery system is constructed. If the immersion time is sufficiently long (about 10 minutes), the reaction (3) will reach an equilibrium state. Thereafter, the blue-colored Li x WO 3 electrode can be taken out of the liquid and used as a counter electrode of a display device.
