Abstract:
1. A display apparatus displaying an image including some color, comprising: a plurality of first electrodes, each of the plurality of first electrodes corresponding to one of the colors; a second electrode facing the plurality of first electrodes; and a plurality of microcapsules in which a dispersion media and a plurality of particles being sealed therein, the plurality of microcapsules being disposed between the plurality of first electrodes and the second electrode, at least two first microcapsules of the plurality of microcapsules disposed between a first pixel electrode of the plurality of first electrodes and the second electrode, providing a first color, at least two second microcapsules of the plurality of microcapsules disposed between a second pixel electrode of the plurality of the first electrodes and the second electrode, providing the first color, the second pixel electrode being located in a first direction with the first pixel electrode, and at least two third microcapsules of the plurality of microcapsules disposed between a third pixel electrode of the plurality of the first electrodes and the second electrode, providing a second color, the third pixel electrode being located in a second direction with the first pixel electrode, the second direction intersecting the first direction, and the second color being different from the first color, wherein the plurality of microcapsules are arranged in a stripe pattern having a first column of pixel electrodes extending in the first direction including the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode, and a second column of pixel electrodes extending in the first direction and including the third pixel electrode, the first column providing the first color and the second column providing the second color.
