  • Patent number: 7760416
    Abstract: The invention provides an electrophoresis display device that includes: a pair of a first substrate and a second substrate that are provided opposite to each other; an electrophoresis material layer that is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of pixel areas that is formed on the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of optical detection elements which is formed either in the pixel areas or adjacent to the pixel areas; and a plurality of optical transmission paths each of which is formed between the first substrate and the second substrate and propagates incident light that enters through an outer surface of the second substrate so that the light reaches the corresponding optical detection element.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 20, 2010
    Assignee: Seiko Epson Corporation
    Inventors: Hideyuki Kawai, Andrea Kurrer, legal representative
  • Patent number: 7605972
    Abstract: An electro-optical panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a common electrode disposed on the first substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed on the second substrate, and a liquid dispersion medium which is sealed between a pair of substrates including the first substrate and the second substrate and into which charged particles are dispersed, in which the charged particles include first particles having a first color and second particles having a second color and having been charged to have a polarity different from a polarity of the first particles, the liquid dispersion medium has a third color, each of the plurality of pixel electrodes includes a plurality of sub-electrodes, and a voltage applying unit is provided so as to individually apply a voltage to the plurality of sub-electrodes.
