Electrodes are formed on the opposing surfaces of the two flexible substrates 51 and 52, and when electricity is applied to the electrodes, the liquid crystal element displays information by characters or the like. In addition, polarizing plates 53 and 54 are provided on the outer surfaces of the two flexible substrates 51 and 52.
