To provide a display device capable of stably and easily obtaining color display such as gradation display other than monochromatic display.

The display device 1 includes: a first insulating base material 2 whose one surface is a display surface 2a; a first resistance layer 4 formed on the surface on the side opposite to the display surface of the first insulating base material 2; a first electrochromic layer 6 formed on the surface of the first resistance layer 4; and an electrolyte layer 11 provided on the surface of the first electrochromic layer 6. A plurality of first electrodes 12 and 13 which can apply a voltage so as to generate a voltage gradient in a plane direction of the first resistance layer 4 are connected to the first resistance layer 4.
