Abstract
The invention provides a display method for displaying an image by deposition of metal fine particles. The display method includes at least depositing metal fine particles, from an electrolytic solution that has at least a metal ion of the metal particles and that is provided between a pair of substrates having at least one translucent substrate, onto a surface of any one of the pair of substrates by imparting one stimulus. A concentration of the metal ion of the metal fine particles in the electrolytic solution after imparting the stimulus is about 200 mmol/l or less. The invention further provides a display device which uses the display method.
Claims12
A display method for displaying an image by deposition of metal fine particles, the display method comprising:
- depositing metal fine particles, from an electrolytic solution that comprises the metal ion of the metal particles and that is provided between a pair of substrates comprising at least one translucent substrate, onto a surface of any one of the pair of substrates by imparting one stimulus,
- a concentration of the metal ion of the metal fine particles in the electrolytic solution after imparting the stimulus being about 200 mmol/l or less,
- wherein
- the electrolytic solution further comprises as a supporting electrolyte a salt that forms a complex with the metal ion, and
- the supporting electrolyte comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of LiF, LiCl, LiI, LiCN, NaX in which X represents a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, an iodine atom or a CN, KX in which X represents a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, an iodine atom or a CN, and a halogenated quaternary ammonium salt.
