Display element, manufacturing method, and electric device

A display element (10) provided with an upper substrate (first substrate) (2), a lower substrate (second substrate) (3), and a polar liquid (16) which is sealed in a display space (S) formed between the upper substrate (2) and the lower substrate (3) so as to be movable to the effective display region (P1) side or the ineffective display region (P2) side, wherein a rib (structure) (14a-14c) for driving the polar liquid (16) is provided for each pixel region (P) so as to cover the whole area of the surface (2a) on the display space (S) side of the upper substrate (2).
