DISPLAY ELEMENT AND ELECTRICAL DEVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

A display element (10) includes an upper substrate (first substrate) (2), a lower substrate (second substrate) (3), and a conductive liquid (16) that is sealed in a display space (S) formed between the upper substrate (2) and the lower substrate (3) so as to be moved toward an effective display region (P1) or a non-effective display region (P2). The conductive liquid (16) is colored black. The non-effective display (P2) is defined by a black matrix (light-shielding layer) (11s) provided on the upper substrate (2), and the effective display region (P1) is defined by a color filter (aperture) (11r) formed in the black matrix (11s). The size of the black matrix (11s) is determined based on the size of each of ribs (14a, 14b) and a gap size (H) between the upper substrate (2) and the lower substrate (3).
