    摘要: Display device based on layer break up or layer displacement having at least two different states, in which one of the fluids (5) e.g oil in a first state adjoins at least a first support plate (3) and in the second state the other fluid (6) at least partly adjoins the first support plate. In one embodiment a picture element corresponds to a substantially closed space and in the first state the other fluid layer substantially completely adjoins both support plates and is divided in two sub-layers. This makes it possible on the one hand to use lower voltages to make displacement occur. On the other hand this opens the opportunity to color displays.

    摘要: A method of disentangling sample properties in a scanned sample requires a calibration sample in which two sample properties are variable. The calibration sample is scanned, and two measured variables are recorded during the scan. The two sample properties are measured quantitatively by an independent means. Using the data from the calibration sample, conversion functions are mathematically determined, in order to convert the two measured variables into the two sample properties. A sample, for which the two properties are unknown, is scanned, and the two measured variables are recorded. Using the conversion functions, the data from the scan is converted into the two sample properties of interest for the unknown sample. This method can be used with the first sample property being topography, so that effects due to the topography of the sample are eliminated from the computation of the second property of the unknown sample. This method can also be used with the probe in contact with the sample, so that topography is not one of the two sample properties.

    摘要: A transflective display device has a viewing side (7) and a rear side (8) and comprises a plurality of electrowetting elements (2) having a first support plate (5) facing the viewing side and a second support plate (6) facing the rear side. Each electrowetting element comprises a space (10) between the first support plate and the second support plate and includes a first fluid (11) and a second fluid (12) immiscible with each other. The second fluid absorbs at least a part of the optical spectrum. The position of the second fluid is controllable to cover a predetermined area (30) of the cross-section (29) of the space in the plane of the second support plate. A structured reflector (18) is arranged on the second support plate, comprising within the cross-section an area (33, 34) transparent for light incident from the rear side and an area (35, 36) reflective for light incident from the viewing side. The transparent area and the reflective area are arranged such that the predetermined area (30) covered by the second fluid covers the same proportion of the transparent area and the reflective area.

    摘要: An exemplary display device based on layer displacement having a perforated white substrate positioned close to a transparent substrate. Layer (fluid) displacement such as oil movement results in the (colored) oil film being pumped in a controlled manner above the white substrate. Fluids of three subtractive colors can be independently pumped to separate spaces. Based on the color strength of the used fluids good color rendition can be obtained for a flow channel thickness of less than 25 microns and therefore a total pixel thickness including the sub pixel reservoirs of less than 200 microns.
