An electrophoretic display device exhibiting a memory characteristic, i.e., capable of holding a display state even after removal of an applied voltage, is provided by introducing a mechanism that colored electrophoretic particles are retained in position for display in the absence of an electric field. For the purpose, at least one of a pair of substrates holding therebetween colored electrophoretic particles together with an insulating liquid is provided with a magnetism by disposing a magnetic material on or in the substrate together with the use of magnetized colored electrophoretic particles so as to retain the colored electrophoretic particles in position under the action of a magnetic Coulomb force exerted by the magnetized substrate.
