To provide with high productivity an electrophoresis type display device capable of displaying highly colorful, high definition, and high contrast images and to provide its manufacturing method.

An electrophoretic display device displays a desired picture by enclosing electrophoretic grains in the electrophoretic medium filled up between a pair of substrates at least one of which is transparent and by making the electrophoretic grains to migrate to the side of the electrode selected by applying an electric field at least to a pair of electrodes provided on one of the substrates. Planar electrodes and island-shaped electrodes each of which has a projection area being equal to or smaller than 50% of the area of the planar electrode are provided on one of the substrates.
