Abstract

La présente invention concerne un élément d’affichage électrochimique comprenant : un substrat conducteur transparent dans lequel est formé un film conducteur transparent sur la surface d’un substrat transparent ; un substrat d’électrode qui est disposé pour faire face au substrat conducteur transparent et qui possède un film d’électrode ; une couche électrolytique formée entre le film conducteur transparent et le film d’électrode ; et un élément de joint qui est formé de façon annulaire sur la circonférence de la couche électrolytique et qui rend étanche la couche électrolytique. Les composants à résistance du trajet dans lequel circule un courant depuis une électrode d’alimentation électrique (section borne d’alimentation électrique) vers un support d’affichage (la couche électrolytique) peuvent être réduits, et une chute de tension dans le trajet, due aux composants à résistance, peut être réduite, par l’intermédiaire d’un élément conducteur qui est connecté électriquement au film conducteur transparent et est recouvert de l’élément de joint.
