(発明が解決しようとする課題)電気泳動表示装置用表示液中の分散粒子とじては、一般
に二酸化チタンなどの高屈折率な無機顔料が用いられる
。しかし、これらの無機顔料は表示液中の分散媒との比
重差が非常に大きいので、沈降により分離してしまう。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Inorganic pigments with a high refractive index such as titanium dioxide are generally used as dispersed particles in display liquids for electrophoretic display devices. However, since these inorganic pigments have a very large difference in specific gravity from the dispersion medium in the display liquid, they are separated by sedimentation.
そこで、これらの無機顔料を長期間分離せずに分散し続
けさせるために、イオン性界面活性剤などの種々の分散
剤が検討されているが、分散媒との比重差を解消するま
でには至っていない。Therefore, in order to keep these inorganic pigments dispersed for a long time without separating them, various dispersants such as ionic surfactants are being considered, but it is difficult to eliminate the difference in specific gravity with the dispersion medium. Not yet reached.

オン性界面活性剤の添加量はなるべ(少なくしなければ
ならない。Further, an ionic surfactant or the like is added to the display liquid as a charge imparting agent. However, especially in electrophoretic display devices that use the charging of corona ions to apply an electric field,
Since the electric field is applied through the insulating plate on the back side, the conductivity of the display liquid must be low. Therefore, the amount of these ionic surfactants added must be as small as possible.

Corona ions generated by applying a positive or negative voltage of about 3 to 10 KV are controlled by the control electrode 8, and the ions are selectively charged on the back substrate 4 of the electrophoretic display panel to form an electrostatic latent image 9. to form. An electric field is generated between the charged portion of the ions and the transparent electrode 2, whereby the dispersed particles in the display liquid move toward the transparent substrate, and the color of the dispersed particles appears on the surface. Since no electric field is generated in the uncharged portion of the ions, the color of the dispersion medium appears on the surface. In this way, an image corresponding to the electrostatic latent image 9 formed on the rear substrate 4 is formed on the transparent substrate. When an electric field in the opposite direction is applied, the dispersed particles that had been moving toward the transparent substrate move toward the back substrate, so the image formed on the transparent substrate disappears and the entire surface becomes the color of the dispersion medium. . In this way, the electrophoretic display device can obtain a desired display by controlling the direction of the electric field.
