Between each transparent pixel electrode driven by TFT as a drive device
and a common electrode, a polymer layer located in contact with the
transparent pixel electrode and electrically active to change in color by
electrochemical oxidization or reduction and a polymeric solid
electrolytic layer located in contact with the polymer layer and
containing a coloring agent are interposed. Since electrochemical
oxidization or reduction brings about a color change, the contrast and
the black concentration can be enhanced, and bronzing after long-time use
does not occur.
