1. Electrowetting apparatus comprising a compound which is a dye comprising:
a plurality of colorant moieties comprising:
a first colorant moiety having a first net dipole, anda second colorant moiety having a second net dipole, wherein at least one of the plurality of colorant moieties is of a dye class selected from the group consisting of: an azo dye having the general formula: a bisazo dye having the general formula: an anthraquinone dye having the general formula: a coumarine dye having the general formula: a naphthaquinone dye having the general formula: a squaraine dye having the general formula: a stilbene dye having the general formula:and
an indophenol dye having the general formula: wherein each of A1 to A64 is independently selected from the group consisting of: a linker, hydrogen (H), an alkyl group having at least one carbon atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 32 carbon atoms, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an oxo group, an alkoxy group, a thiol group, a hydroxyl group, a thioalkyl group, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, an amine group, a nitro group, a cyano group, an amide group, a sulphonyl group, a carboxy group, and a trifluoromethyl group; and a linker, the plurality of colorant moieties linked by and disposed around the linker so that the first net dipole and the second net dipole at least partially cancel each other. |
