An electro-optical display device includes a first substrate having an pixel electrode, a light-transmissive second substrate having a light-transmissive counter electrode, an electrophoretic layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and having a liquid dispersion, a partition wall that defines a plurality of reservoirs containing the dispersion and a light-transmissive sealing layer that is provided between the partition wall and the counter electrode so as to seal the dispersion, and a light-transmissive hot melt conductive adhesive layer provided between the sealing layer and the counter electrode.
