Provided is a novel electrochemical display element which performs bright white display, high contrast black/white display and full-color display with a simple member configuration. A method for driving such display element is also provided. The display element contains an electrochromic compound, which is colored or has its color disappear due to oxidation or reduction, a metallic salt compound, an electrolyte and a white scattered material, between opposing electrodes. The display element substantially performs multiple color display of three colors or more, i.e., black display, white display and colored display other than black by driving operation of the opposing electrodes.
本发明提供了一种新型电化学显示元件,它能以简单的部件配置实现亮白显示、高对比度黑白显示和全彩显示。还提供了驱动这种显示元件的方法。该显示元件包含一种电致变色化合物(因氧化或还原而着色或颜色消失)、一种金属盐化合物、一种电解质和一种白色散射材料,它们位于相对的电极之间。显示元件通过驱动对置电极的操作,基本上可实现三种或三种以上颜色的多色显示,即黑色显示、白色显示和黑色以外的彩色显示。
