Abstract:
A display device or optical switch, based on layer break up or layer displacement having at least two different states, in which one fluid, e.g., oil, in a first state adjoins at least a first support plate, and in a second state another fluid at least partly adjoins the first support plate. Sub-picture elements are separated by areas having a hydrophilic surface.
Abstract:
A composition comprising a compound having the general formula (I): F—[CF2]n—(O[CF2]n)m-(L)p-SH (Formula (I)) Each n is independently from 2 to 4, m is from 3 to 30, p is 0 or 1 and L represents a linker having the formula Oq(CF2)r(CH2)s, wherein q is 0 or 1, r is from 0 to 4 and s is from 0 to 4.
Abstract:
An electrowetting element comprising a first fluid, a second fluid immiscible with the first fluid, a first electrode, a second electrode in contact with the second fluid and a first and second support plate. The first support plate comprises the first electrode and a surface. The second support plate comprises a protrusion which overlaps a first surface portion of the surface and which, with a first voltage with a substantially zero magnitude applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, contacts the second fluid without substantially contacting the first fluid. Upon application of a second voltage with a non-zero magnitude between the first electrode and the second electrode, the first fluid moves such that there is substantially no contact between the first fluid and the first surface portion.
Abstract:
An electrowetting display device comprising an electrowetting element comprising a control system, a first fluid, a second fluid immiscible with the first fluid, and a first and second support plate. A first and second electrode are, respectively, overlapped by a first and second portion of a surface of the first support plate. The control system is operable to apply a sequence of voltages, comprising a first voltage between the second fluid and the first electrode and a second voltage between the second fluid and the second electrode, to configure the first fluid to a plurality of configurations, each of the plurality of different configurations respectively corresponding to the same grey level.

Abstract:
An electrowetting display device comprising an electrowetting element comprising a control system, a first fluid, a second fluid immiscible with the first fluid, and a first and second support plate. A first and second electrode are, respectively, overlapped by a first and second portion of a surface of the first support plate. The control system is operable to, in response to input data indicative of a first grey level, apply a first voltage between the second fluid and the first electrode such that the second fluid is in contact with at least part of the first portion and, subsequently, apply a second voltage between the second fluid and the second electrode to translate the first fluid such that the second fluid is in contact with at least part of the second portion.
Abstract:
An optical switch, e.g. a display cell based on layer displacement or layer break up having at least two different states, in which one of the fluids e.g. oil in a first state adjoins at least a first support plate and in the second state the other fluid at least partly adjoins the first support plate. Part of an otherwise homogeneous electrode is removed to realize oil motion control.
