Abstract:
An electrophoretic display device, comprising:a pair of substrates opposed to each other with a gap therebetween, a spacer keeping the gap between the substrates to a predetermined extent, first electrodes and second electrodes disposed on either one of the substrates, an insulating liquid filling the gap between the substrates, and a plurality of charged electrophoretic particles carried in the insulating liquid, the plurality of charged electrophoretic particles being capable to move in response to a voltage applied between the first and second electrodes; wherein, the display region of the device is divided into pixels each having at least a pair of the first and the second electrodes, at least one of the first electrodes in a pixel is disposed along and adjacent to the whole or a part of the boundary of the pixel, and said one of the first electrodes in a pixel and said one of the first electrodes in another pixel which are disposed adjacent to each other via the pixel boundary are electrically connected together to have the same potential.
