DISPLAY ELEMENT AND ELECTRICAL APPARATUS USING SAME

摘要

This display element (10) is equipped with: an upper substrate (first substrate) (2); a lower substrate (second substrate) (3); and a polar liquid (16) that is sealed within a display space (S) in a manner so as to be mobile to an effective display region (P1) or a non-effective display region (P2). The display element (10) is provided with: ribs (14) provided to the lower substrate (3) in a manner so as to hermetically compartmentalize the inside of the display space (S) so as to accommodate a plurality of pixel regions (P); and an oil (insulating fluid) (17) that does not mix with the polar liquid (16) and is sealed within the display space (S) in a manner so as to be mobile for each pixel region (P). Also, a signal electrode (4) is provided towards the lower substrate (3) in a manner so that the flow path of the oil (17) within the display space (S) increases when the polar liquid (16) is being moved for each pixel region (P) within the display space (S).
