Abstract:
An electrophoretic display, comprising:a first substrate comprising a transparent substrate, on one surface of which a transparent electrode comprising a first electrode is formed and the other surface of which forms a display surface; a second substrate on one surface of which a second electrode is formed and arranged in parallel with said first substrate so that said second electrode faces said first electrode; and a plurality of microcapsules containing a dispersion comprising a liquid phase dispersion medium and electrophoretic particles, arranged between said first and second electrodes so as to contact each electrode, and each microcapsule having a flat shape in a sectional plane along a first direction perpendicular to parallel planes of said first and second electrodes by deformed (squeezed) between said first and second electrodes, a first length of each microcapsule in a second direction parallel to said first and second electrodes and perpendicular to the first direction being longer than a second length of each microcapsules in the first direction.
