Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display element ( 10 ) includes an upper substrate (first substrate) ( 2 ), a lower substrate (second substrate) ( 3 ), and a polar 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 (P 1 ) or a non-effective display region (P 2 ). A rib ( 14 ) hermetically divides the inside of the display space (S) in accordance with each of a plurality of pixel regions (P). A movement space (K) in which an oil (insulating fluid) ( 17 ) is moved is provided for each of the pixel regions (P).

First claim
