Abstract

The present disclosure belongs to the field of display technology, and particularly relates to a display device. The display device is divided into a plurality of pixel regions, in each of which a first electrode and a second electrode are provided oppositely, and an electrophoretic medium and charged particles are provided between the first electrode and the second electrode. A reflective medium layer is further provided in each pixel region, the reflective medium layer and the second electrode are provided on a same side of the electrophoretic medium and the charged particles. The second electrode is provided in only a part of the pixel region, and the reflective medium layer is provided at least in an area of the pixel region in which the second electrode is absent. The display device has high contrast by increasing brightness in white state display.

Claims (14)

1. A display device, divided into a plurality of pixel regions, in each of which a first electrode and a second electrode are provided oppositely, and an electrophoretic medium and charged particles are provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein a reflective medium layer is further provided in each pixel region, the reflective medium layer and the second electrode are provided on a same side of the electrophoretic medium and the charged particles, the second electrode is provided in only a part of each pixel region, and the reflective medium layer is provided at least in an area of the pixel region in which the second electrode is absent,

wherein the reflective medium layer is formed of titanium dioxide,

a plurality of microstructures that are continuously distributed are provided on a side of the first electrode facing the second electrode, a refractive index of the microstructures is greater than a refractive index of the electrophoretic medium, and a refractive index range of the microstructures is the same as a refractive index range of the first electrode.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrode is a plurality of strip-like structures or a plurality of block structures, and a total area of the plurality of strip-like structures or the plurality of block structures is smaller than an area of one pixel region.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrode and the reflective medium layer are provided in a same layer, and a sum of areas of the second electrode and the reflective medium layer is equal to the area of the pixel region.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective medium layer is provided on a side of the second electrode distal to the first electrode.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrode is formed using a reflective material having a property of reflecting white light.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein, the second electrode is formed using at least one of silver and aluminum.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the microstructures are hemispherical structures or prismatic structures, of which a protruding surface faces the second electrode.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first electrode is formed using a transparent conductive material.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the transparent conductive material is at least one of indium gallium zinc oxide, indium zinc oxide, indium tin oxide, and indium gallium tin oxide.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein partition walls are provided between adjacent pixel regions, and a projection of each of at least part of the partition walls on the second electrode is within the second electrode.

11. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the partition walls are formed using a black material.

12. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the charged particles are black charged particles, and the black charged particles carry positive charges or negative charges.
