Abstract
The present invention provides a horizontally transfer type electrophoretic display device that can suppress occurrence of cross-talk and is capable of passive matrix addressing that can obtain a good display. The display device includes a fist display electrode and a second display electrode disposed on a first substrate, a second substrate being disposed in opposed relation to the first substrate via a barrier wall, a first control electrode as one of the two control electrodes disposed on the second substrate, and a second control electrode disposed at the boundary between the first display electrode and the second display electrode on the first electrode. A voltage can be independently applied to each control electrode, a transparent insulation liquid is filled in the space formed by the both substrates and the barrier wall, and colored and charged particles are dispersed in the transparent insulation liquid.
