An electrophoretic display includes a substrate, first electrodes arranged on the substrate, an electrophoretic layer arranged on the substrate so as to cover the first electrodes, a partition wall that divides the electrophoretic layer into a plurality of cells, and a second electrode arranged on the electrophoretic layer. The electrophoretic layer has electrophoretic particles and a dispersion medium that disperses the electrophoretic particles. The second electrode protrudes towards the first electrodes at the cell.
