Electrophoretic element and display device

An electrophoretic element comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other;
• an electrophoretic layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• and
• a plurality of pixels each including an opening region configured to transmit light from the electrophoretic layer to a front side,
• the electrophoretic layer including a dispersion medium and a plurality of electrophoretic particles dispersed in the dispersion medium in each of the plurality of pixels,
• wherein in each of the plurality of pixels, the electrophoretic element further includes
• a first electrode arranged in a manner as to be not located within the opening region,
• a plurality of second electrodes arranged in a manner as to be at least partially located within the opening region, and
• a plurality of third electrodes arranged in a manner as to be at least partially located within the opening region and configured such that a potential different from a potential applied to the plurality of second electrodes is applied to at least one of the plurality of third electrodes, and
• in a plan view, one of the plurality of second electrodes and one of the plurality of third electrodes are alternately arranged along a predetermined direction.
