Patent attributes
The display device includes: a wiring substrate 31 having wiring lines and switching elements thereon; a counter substrate 33 held so as to oppose the wiring substrate 31; a display medium layer 35 provided between the wiring substrate 31 and the counter substrate 33; and a sealing section 37 surrounding the display medium layer 35, the sealing section 37 being formed of a sealing material which contains a photocurable resin. The display device has a display region 40 in which a plurality of pixels are included. The sealing material contains light-scattering particles for scattering light which cures the photocurable resin. The counter substrate 33 has a light shielding layer 39 thereon, the light shielding layer 39 surrounding the display region 40. The sealing section 37 is formed within a region shaded by the light shielding layer 39. Deterioration of reliability due to curing failures of the sealing material is suppressed.
