Patent ID: 7999997

Claim:
An electrophoretic display device comprising: a first electrode provided on a surface of a first base member, the surface of the first base member being formed with a plurality of concave portions in which the first electrode is disposed; second electrodes provided on a surface of a second base member so that the second electrodes are placed in a facing relationship with the first electrode, the surface of the second base member being formed with a plurality of concave portions which respectively correspond to the concave portions of the first base member to form a plurality of pairs of corresponding concave portions, the second electrodes being respectively disposed in the concave portions of the second base member; and a plurality of microcapsules provided between the first electrode and the second electrodes in a state that each of the plurality of microcapsules is partially received in each of the pairs of the corresponding concave portions of the first and second base members, the plurality of microcapsules each having an internal space filled with an electrophoretic dispersion liquid, and the electrophoretic dispersion liquid containing electrophoretic particles, the plurality of microcapsules being positioned such that spaces are formed between the first electrode and the second electrodes.
