Abstract

An image display device is provided which suppresses discomfort “flickering” in a process of renewing a screen to realize multiple gray level displaying including an intermediate color. Electrophoretic particles are made up of n-kinds of charged particles C1, . . . , Ck, . . . , Cn having colors different from one another and threshold voltages to initiate an electrophoresis. Each of charged particles C1, . . . , Ck, . . . , Cn satisfies a relationship characteristic of threshold value voltage of charged particles> . . . >threshold value voltage of charged particle Ck> . . . >threshold value voltage of charged particle Cn. A voltage applying unit, at time of renewing a screen, renews a screen to a next screen having a desired density by a transition of a relative color density of each charged particle to a relative color density of a corresponding intermediate state in order of charged particle C1> . . . >Ck, . . . , Cn for a voltage driving waveform of each charged particle.
