Patent ID: 8804227

Claim:
An electrophoretic display device, the device comprising: thin-film transistors (TFTs) formed in a matrix form on a lower substrate having a pixel region in which are arranged unit pixel regions; a passivation layer covering the lower substrate on which is formed the thin-film transistors; pixel electrodes formed on the passivation layer and connected to the thin-film transistors, respectively; a TFT blocking pattern formed on the pixel electrode at an upper portion of each of the thin-film transistors (TFTs); a side electrode formed on the passivation layer and enclosing the pixel electrodes and spaced with the pixel electrodes, wherein the side electrode is formed in one body on the passivation layer; a partition wall between the pixel electrodes and dividing the pixel region into the unit pixel region; a fluid including an electrophoretic particles filled between the partition wall; and an upper substrate attached with the lower substrate and formed with a common electrode on a lower surface thereof, wherein the TFT blocking pattern and the side electrode are formed of the same conductive metal material.
