The present invention provides an electrophoretic display in which an insulating
liquid is uniformly provided to the divided microspaces each corresponding to one
pixel and display characteristics uniform over the display surface are actualized.
The present invention includes a transparent first substrate 1 and a transparent
second substrate 2 arranged with a predetermined gap therebetween, charged
particles 6 dispersed in an insulating liquid 5 provided to the gap,
and a first electrode 3 and a second electrode 4 arranged on either
of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, wherein liquid-repellency
parts 8 and repellency-lowered parts 9 are arranged on the surface
of the first substrate 1 and the surface of the second substrate 2,
and the insulating liquid 5 is provided to the repellency-lowered parts
on the surface of the first substrate 1 and the surface of the second substrate
2.
