Patent ID: 8345346

Claim:
An electrophoretic display comprising: first electrodes; a second electrode placed opposite the first electrodes; and a microcapsule layer placed between the first electrodes and the second electrode, wherein the microcapsule layer contains microcapsules containing a dispersion medium and electrophoretic particles and a binder for retaining the microcapsules between the first electrodes and the second electrode, the electrophoretic particles are sealed in each microcapsule in such a state that the electrophoretic particles are dispersed in the dispersion medium, and the following inequality is satisfied: (ρ2·∈2)/(ρ1·∈1)<1 (α) where ρ1 is the resistivity of the dispersion medium, ∈1 is the dielectric constant of the dispersion medium, ρ2 is the resistivity of the binder, and ∈2 is the dielectric constant of the binder.
