An image display device which comprises an image display panel, in which
particles or liquid powders as image display media are sealed in cells
formed in an isolated manner from one another by partition walls between
two opposed substrates, at least one of two substrates being transparent,
and, in which the particles or the liquid powders, to which an
electrostatic field is applied, are made to move so as to display an
image, is characterized in that: (1) the partition walls are manufactured
by a photolithography method, and a shape of the partition wall is a
taper shape such that a width of an end portion at a side of a rear
substrate is larger than that at a side of a front substrate; (3-1) a
plurality of cells are arranged in such a manner that they do not
correspond one for one to the positions of pixels for displaying the
image; (3-2) a ratio of cell area/pixel area is formed to be smaller than
4; and (2) the image display panel is manufactured by: forming a first
layer made of photosensitive color composite on one substrate; forming a
second layer made of photosensitive composite, which has a light
transmission higher than that of the first layer and a thickness larger
than that of the first layer, on the first layer; performing an exposure
through a mask with respect to the first layer and the second layer on
the substrate; performing a developing and a washing with respect to the
exposed first and second layers so as to form color partition walls on
the substrate; and connecting the other substrate to the color partition
walls.
