有する。2. Description of the Related Art An electrophoretic display device of this kind using electrophoretic particles has a required display electrode pattern using an appropriate transparent conductive member such as indium tin oxide on the opposite surface as shown in FIG. Two transparent glass plates 1 and 4 each of which is formed with a pair of transparent glass plates 2 and 5 are provided, and the space between the opposing gaps is filled with a dispersion system 3 in which electrophoretic particles are dispersed in a liquid dispersion medium. It also has a structure in which a sealing member 6 which also serves as the above is provided on the outer peripheral portion.

である。In the electrophoretic display device having such a structure, a display driving voltage is applied to the electrode patterns 2 and 5 to disperse the electrophoretic particles so that the electrophoretic particles can be adsorbed and separated from the electrode patterns 2 and 5. By applying an electric field to the system 3 to change the distribution state of the electrophoretic particles, the optical characteristics of the dispersion system 3 are changed so that a desired display operation of characters, symbols or figures can be performed.

示装置に於いて、表示駆動用電圧の印加時間が電気泳動
粒子の電極への吸着・離反の時間に比べて短い場合には
必要なコントラストが得られないので、表示駆動用電圧
の印加時間を一定以上長くする必要がある。In such an electrophoretic display device, when the application time of the display drive voltage is shorter than the adsorption / separation time of the electrophoretic particles to the electrodes, the necessary contrast is obtained. Therefore, it is necessary to lengthen the application time of the display driving voltage by a certain amount or more.

因となっている。However, it is also known that when a display driving voltage is applied for a long time, display deterioration such as discoloration or adhesion due to alteration of the dispersion system occurs. This induces oxidation / reduction of the dispersion system as well as migration of electrophoretic particles due to the inflow / outflow of electrons due to long-term voltage application, and therefore, for example, alteration of the dye or alteration of the surfactant for particle dispersion. Dissolution of the electrode components in the dispersion system or a combination thereof causes display deterioration.

動表示装置を提供するものである。In the present invention, therefore, the application time of the display driving voltage is limited to the shortest time to obtain the required contrast, so that the deterioration of the dispersion system is suppressed and the desired display state is obtained. The present invention provides a long-life electrophoretic display device that can be maintained for a long period of time.

い。In this type of electrophoretic display device, when a display driving voltage is applied in order to perform a display operation, a blackout occurs.
The migration of electrophoretic particles occurs due to the ron force, but at the same time, the migration of dyes and surfactants that are uniformly thermally diffused in the dispersion system also occurs, so dyes and surfactants that reach the electrode surface flow from the electrodes.・ Changes in quality due to electrons flowing out. In order to suppress such a situation, it is sufficient to shorten the time during which the dye or the surfactant is applied after being transferred to the electrode surface.
