Electrowetting Device

摘要

An electrowetting device includes: a liquid-confining member including a base and an electrode unit supported on the base, the liquid-confining member defining an inner chamber; a first liquid of a magnetic ink disposed in the inner chamber; and a second liquid of a polar material disposed in the inner chamber and immiscible with the first liquid. The first and second liquids contact each other to define a liquid-liquid interface therebetween.

1. An electrowetting device comprising:
a liquid-confining member including a base and an electrode unit supported on said base, said liquid-confining member defining an inner chamber; a first liquid of a magnetic ink disposed in said inner chamber; and a second liquid of a polar material disposed in said inner chamber and immiscible with said first liquid, said first and second liquids contacting each other to define a liquid-liquid interface therebetween; wherein said electrode unit is adapted to be connected to an external power source for providing an electric field across said liquid-liquid interface; and wherein said liquid-liquid interface has a shape that varies in response to a change in the electric field across said liquid-liquid interface.
