Abstract:
The present invention relates to an energy conversion device using a change of a contact surface with liquid and, more specifically, to a method and a device for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy by applying an opposite phenomenon to an electrowetting phenomenon. The energy conversion device having a simplified structure and reduced manufacturing costs with minimal malfunctions by changing a contact surface with liquid between a pair of electrodes and using the change of the contact surface with the liquid to generate electrical energy such that channel blocking can be prevented or a lubricating layer or electrodes complicatedly patterned on a channel are not required.
Abstract:
This application relates to a reflective display using color capsules and a method of manufacturing thereof. In one aspect, the method includes preparing a substrate in which first, second, and third receiving portions respectively having first, second, and third widths are formed by forming separating portions on a first substrate and forming the color capsules in which first, second, and third color capsules respectively having first, second, and third diameters are formed. The method may also include disposing the color capsule in which the first, second, and third color capsules are respectively inserted into the first, second, and third receiving portions, wherein the first, second, and third diameters respectively correspond to the first, second, and third widths. The color capsules are respectively inserted into receiving portions having the corresponding diameters, so that the reflective display which is convenient to manufacture and which has a multi-color pixel region may be provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an energy conversion device using a liquid and, more specifically, to a method and a device for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy by applying an opposite phenomenon to an electrowetting phenomenon. The contact surface with liquid is being changed within a pair of electrodes, and the resulting change in the contact surface with liquid is being utilized for generating electrical energy. The device can be simplified and the manufacturing cost thereof is being reduced, furthermore it is effective in implementing an energy conversion device that is less faulty, by preventing channel blocking phenomenon and not requiring a lubricating layer or an electrode complicatedly patterned on a channel. Besides, it is advantageous in that a flexible device can be realized and a large area application is facilitated by simplifying the device structure.
