Using a tight-binding model Hamiltonian and applying the Jordan-Wigner transformation, we have investigated the Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect for many neutral hard-core bosons in one-dimensional (1D) mesoscopic rings with the self-induced AC phase included. The total energy and the persistent fluxon current are analytically derived for 1D perfect lattices. More importantly, it is suggested that, in the absence of the external AC flux, the self-sustained AC flux state could be the ground state of a system with weak disorder. The possibility of experimenal observations is briefly discussed.
