Abstract
In an electrophoretic display device sandwiching an electrophoretic material between a first substrate and a second substrate, a plurality of pixels are formed on the first substrate; each pixel is composed of n subpixels (n being an integer of 2 or more); and the n subpixels contain at least one pair of adjoining subpixels that cannot be divided by a straight line.

An electrophoretic display device sandwiching an electrophoretic material between a first substrate and a second substrate, the device comprising:
- a plurality of pixels are formed on the first substrate;
- each of the pixels is composed of n subpixels (n being an integer of 2 or more);
- and
- the n subpixels contain at least one pair of adjoining subpixels that are not able to be completely divided by a single straight line extending continuously across the pixel.
An electrophoretic display device sandwiching an electrophoretic material between a first substrate and a second substrate, the device comprising:
- a plurality of pixels are formed on the first substrate;
- each of the pixels is composed of n subpixels (n being an integer of 2 or more);
- and
- the n subpixels contain at least one pair of adjoining subpixels whose boundary side is composed of a plurality of straight lines that extend at angles relative to one another.
An electrophoretic display device sandwiching an electrophoretic material between a first substrate and a second substrate, the device comprising:
- a plurality of pixels are formed on the first substrate;
- each of the pixels is composed of n subpixels (n being an integer of 3 or more);
- and
- the n subpixels contain at least one pair of adjoining subpixels whose boundary side is longer than a boundary side of another pair of adjoining subpixels.
An electrophoretic display device sandwiching an electrophoretic material between a first substrate and a second substrate, the device comprising:
- a plurality of pixels are formed on the first substrate;
- each pixel is composed of n subpixels (n being an integer of 2 or more);
- and
- at least one subpixel out of the n subpixels does not share a boundary with an adjacent pixel.
