Abstract:
1. An electrophoretic display comprising: a plurality of cells including a first cell, a second cell and a third cell, each of the plurality of cells being spatially divided and containing a plurality of types of color particles constituting a display color, the display color being controlled by controlling electrophoresis of the plurality of types of color particles, and a first transparent electrode having a first polarity and a second transparent electrode having a second polarity provided on a side of the cells configured to be viewed in a viewing direction, the plurality of types of color particles including first color particles, second color particles, third color particles that correspond to one of three primary colors in additive color mixing or subtractive color mixing, the first color particles, the second color particles, the third color particles being mutually different, and fourth color particles that are in a relationship of complementary colors with the first color particles, fifth color particles that are in a relationship of complementary colors with the second color particles, and sixth color particles that are in a relationship of complementary colors with the third color particles, the first cell including the first color particles and the fourth color particles, the second cell including the second color particles and the fifth color particles, the third cell including the third color particles and the sixth color particles, the second cell being controlled to be in a display state by the fifth color particles and third cell being controlled to be in a display state by the sixth color particles, when the first cell is controlled to be in a display state by the first color particles, and when the first to sixth particles are gathered in a vicinity of the first and second transparent electrodes, respectively, the first polarity changing with the second polarity.
