PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To greatly improve the contrast of a microcapsule type electrophoretic device by accurately deforming microcapsules into a desired shape. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the electrophoretic device constituted by putting microcapsules in which electrophoretic liquid containing liquid phase dispersant liquid and electrophoretic particles is charged between a couple of substrates includes a process of forming microcapsules of the electrophoretic dispersant liquid from a partition film containing at least a thermoplastic high polymer material and a process of deforming the microcapsules into a nonspherical or nearly polygonal shape by directly heating and pressing the microcapsules.
