Abstract
An electrooptical device comprises an electrooptical layer between electrodes. The electrooptical layer includes a dispersion medium and particles contained in the dispersion medium. The particles are colored a first color, while the dispersion medium is colored a second color. The first and second colors are related to each other based on a relationship of complementary colors.
