Patent ID: 7499210

Claim:
An electrophoretic display comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate disposed in opposition to the first substrate; a mesh-like body interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein at least a surface of the mesh-like body is formed of an insulating material, and the mesh-like body comprises: a plurality of lengthwise members; and a plurality of crosswise members which intersect the plurality of lengthwise members at predetermined intervals, wherein the plurality of lengthwise members and the plurality of crosswise members comprise threadlike members extending in one direction and threadlike members extending in another direction, respectively, wherein the threadlike members extending in the one direction have a different diameter from the threadlike members extending in the another direction; and charged particles dispersed in a space formed by a surface of the first substrate opposing the second substrate, a surface of the second substrate opposing the first substrate, and the surface of the mesh-like body, the charged particles moving within the space in response to an electric field generated between the first substrate and the second substrate.
