Reflective display

A reflective display, comprising:

• a cover layer that has an operation surface on which a position indicator including an inductor is operated;
• a reflective display layer that includes a plurality of reflective elements each of which reflects, with a set gradation, light incident from the cover layer;
• a backplane that is provided at a position farther than the reflective display layer as viewed from the operation surface;
• and
• a common electrode that is provided between the cover layer and the reflective display layer, wherein
• the backplane has, in a display area overlapping the plurality of reflective elements in plan view,
• a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix along a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction,
• a plurality of gate lines each extending along the second direction, and
• a plurality of second electromagnetic induction sensor electrodes each extending along the second direction, and
• the plurality of second electromagnetic induction sensor electrodes are used for detecting a position of the position indicator in the operation surface by generating electromagnetic induction action with the inductor.
