Pixel wall configuration for an electrowetting display

摘要

An electrowetting display comprises a first support plate and a second support plate, pixel regions between the first support plate and the second support plate, and two walls on the first support plate that delineate the pixel regions from one another. The two walls are separated by a gap. The electrowetting display further comprises an electrolyte solution between the first support plate and the second support plate and in the gap that separates the two walls.

主权项

1. An electrowetting display device comprising:
a bottom support plate; a top support plate positioned above the bottom support plate and substantially parallel to the bottom support plate, wherein space between the bottom support plate and the top support plate includes a plurality of pixel regions for presenting content on the electrowetting display device; two substantially parallel walls separated by a gap, wherein
the two substantially parallel walls separated by the gap separate a first pixel region and a second pixel region adjacent to the first pixel region,the first pixel region includes a first portion of a first pixel electrode disposed on a side of the bottom support plate facing the top support plate,the second pixel region includes a first portion of a second pixel electrode disposed on the side of the bottom support plate facing the top support plate, andthe two substantially parallel walls comprise a first wall that is disposed over a second portion of the first pixel electrode and a second wall that is disposed over a second portion of the second pixel electrode.
