Patent ID: 8238020

Claim:
A method of producing an electrophoretic display sheet having: a substrate; and a microcapsule-containing layer disposed on one surface side of the substrate and including microcapsules and a binder holding the microcapsules, the microcapsules each composed of a shell and an electrophoretic dispersion liquid sealed in the shell and containing at least one type of electrophoretic particles, the method comprising the step of: forming the microcapsule-containing layer where the microcapsules are arranged in a single layer without overlapping in the thickness direction of the substrate by supplying a microcapsule dispersion containing the microcapsules and the binder onto the substrate and then pressurizing the microcapsule dispersion in the thickness direction of the substrate wherein the content percentage of the microcapsules in the microcapsule-containing layer is 50 wt % or more and 95 wt % or less.
