Patent ID: 8373920

Claim:
A display device comprising: a pair of substrates facing each other with a space therebetween in a height direction; a plurality of electrochromic elements each including an electrode disposed on an inner surface of one of the substrates and an electrochromic layer disposed on a surface of the electrode; and an electrolyte layer disposed between the substrates, wherein the electrodes of the electrochromic elements are spaced from each other and an oxidation-reduction reaction is caused between the electrochromic layers disposed on the surfaces of the electrodes by applying a voltage between the electrodes, at least one of the substrates is formed of a flexible member whose outer surface is an input operation surface, a pair of counter electrodes of an input element are disposed on the inner surfaces of the pair of substrates so as to face each other in the height direction, the counter electrodes being spaced from the electrodes of the electrochromic elements when viewed in plan, and an input operation is performed by bringing the counter electrodes close to each other or bringing the counter electrodes into contact with each other through pressing of the input operation surface.
