Novel electrophoretic displays and materials useful for the manufacture of such displays are disclosed. Specifically, a novel encapsulated display is disclosed. The particles encapsulated in the display are dispersed in a suspended or electrophoretic fluid. The fluid may be a mixture of two or more fluids or a single fluid. The display further includes particles that are dispersed in the suspending fluid and that include a liquid. In either case, the suspending fluid may have a density or refractive index that substantially matches the density or refractive index of the particles dispersed in the suspending fluid. Finally, an electroosmotic display is also disclosed. These displays include at least one capsule that includes either a cellulose internal phase or a gelled internal phase and a liquid phase, or that includes two or more immiscible fluids.
