Electrophoretic display and electronic device
View Patent ↗An electrophoretic display includes an electrophoretic layer arranged in each pixel region partitioned by a partition member disposed between a first electrode and a second electrode that are arranged on the inner sides of a pair of substrates. The partition member has bottom portions laminated on the first electrode and partition walls joined to the bottom portions. The partition walls partition the pixel region. The bottom portions each have a protrusion.
1. An electrophoretic display comprising:
a pair of substrates;
a first electrode and a second electrode arranged on the inner sides of the pair of substrates;
a partition member formed from one layer and disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the partition member having:
a bottom portion laminated on the first electrode and having a protrusion; and
partition walls joined to the bottom portion that partition a pixel region; and
an electrophoretic layer arranged in the pixel region partitioned by the partition member.
2. The electrophoretic display according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is disposed at a position separated from the partition walls.
3. The electrophoretic display according to claim 2 , wherein the protrusion is disposed at the center of the bottom portion.
4. The electrophoretic display according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion has a size being 30% or less of the distance between partition walls partitioning the pixel region in a planar view.
5. The electrophoretic display according to claim 1 , wherein
the first electrode is arranged in such a manner that two or more of the first electrodes cover one pixel region; and
the protrusion is arranged so as to overlap corner portions of the first electrodes in a planar view.
6. An electronic device comprising the electrophoretic display according to claim 1 .
7. An electronic device comprising the electrophoretic display according to claim 2 .
8. An electronic device comprising the electrophoretic display according to claim 3 .
9. An electronic device comprising the electrophoretic display according to claim 4 .
10. An electronic device comprising the electrophoretic display according to claim 5 .
