    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein relates to reduction of effective voltage drops within pixels in active matrix displays such as electrowetting display devices. The electrowetting display device comprises a plurality of pixel areas, wherein each pixel area comprises a hydrophobic surface, a first fluid and a second fluid on the hydrophobic surface, wherein the first fluid is immiscible with the second fluid, and a pixel electrode under the hydrophobic surface, wherein the pixel electrode has a substantially U-shape. A thin film transistor is coupled to the pixel electrode and a voltage source. Voltage via the thin film transistor and the voltage source applied to the hydrophobic surface via the pixel electrode causes the hydrophobic surface to become more hydrophobilic to thereby move the second fluid onto the hydrophobic surface to thereby substantially displace the first fluid on the hydrophobic surface.

    Abstract: Subject matter disclosed herein relates to improving luminance and reducing color shifts in electrowetting displays. The electrowetting display comprises a plurality of electrowetting elements separated by partition walls and spacers. The spacers and/or partition walls are reflective. When incident light that enters a pixel or subpixel is reflected and encounters a spacer and/or partition wall, the light is reflected such that the reflected light exits the pixel or subpixel into which the incident light entered. This improves luminance and reduces color shifts of the electrowetting display.

    Abstract: A display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate opposite to the first substrate. The display device includes a pixel region on the first substrate. The pixel region includes a plurality of input lines. Each input line is configured to apply an electric potential to a portion of a pixel in the pixel region. The display device includes a memory storing a drive scheme for the display device and a pixel control system. A solution to a cost function for the display device is calculated, such as by the pixel control system. The cost function expresses a performance attribute of the display device. The drive scheme is modified using the solution to the cost function to create a modified drive scheme, and a voltage is applied to one of the plurality of input lines according to the modified drive scheme to drive the display device.

    Abstract: An electrowetting display device includes a first support plate and a second support plate. The first support plate has rows and columns of pixel walls defining individual electrowetting pixels. A first fluid and a second fluid immiscible with the first fluid are between the first support plate and the second support plate. A sensor is coupled to the second support plate and configured to detect a first intensity of light incident upon the second support plate at a first angle. A controller is configured to displace the first fluid in either a first direction or a second direction based at least in part upon the first intensity of light detected by the sensor.

    Abstract: In a system having a matrix of electrowetting display elements, a column driving system transmits a column voltage signal to an electrode of each electrowetting display element of at least one selected row of n rows of electrowetting display elements. A first row driving system transmits a first row voltage signal to a switchable element associated with each respective electrowetting display element of the selected row. A second row driving system transmits a second row voltage signal to the switchable element associated with each respective electrowetting display element of rows of the n rows of electrowetting display elements. A configuration of respective first and second fluids of the electrowetting display elements of at least one row of the n rows is controlled by selectively transmitting: the first row voltage signal using the first row driving system, and the second row voltage signal, using the second row driving system.
