Patent ID: 8866732

Claim:
A display panel comprising: a first substrate including a first base substrate and pixel electrodes disposed on the first base substrate, wherein at least one pixel electrode of the pixel electrodes is connected with a drain electrode of a thin film transistor disposed on the first substrate; a second substrate including a second base substrate and a common electrode disposed on the second base substrate; an electrophoretic layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate to display a gray-scale image; and a shielding electrode disposed between the pixel electrodes, the shielding electrode facing the common electrode with the electrophoretic layer interposed between the shielding electrode and the common electrode, the shielding electrode not connected with the drain electrode of the thin film transistor, wherein a black gray scale voltage is applied to the shielding electrode, and wherein the shielding electrode is connected with a driver configured to drive the thin film transistor.
