    摘要: A method of driving an electrowetting display device that includes a display element having a cavity; a first fluid and a second fluid within the cavity, the first fluid being immiscible with the second fluid; a surface facing the cavity; and a first electrode. The display device includes a control system for applying a voltage to the first electrode to provide a display state in response to a signal level of the voltage, wherein the control system is arranged to configure the signal level throughout a display period such that the second fluid adjoins at least a minimum area of the surface, the minimum area being greater than a zero area. The method includes applying at least one display signal level during the display period, the at least one display signal level configured such that the first fluid and the second fluid adjoin the surface throughout the display period.

    摘要: An electrowetting display device comprises a plurality of picture elements (2) having a first support plate (5) including a surface (68) and a second support plate. A space (10) of a picture element between the surface of the first support plate and the second support plate includes at least one first fluid and a second fluid immiscible with each other, the second fluid being electroconductive or polar. The first support plate includes an electrode (46) for applying an electric field in the picture element. It also includes a layer (44) arranged on a side of the electrode facing away from said space. The layer forms an electronic component (33) for applying a voltage to the electrode. The electrode comprises a height difference (86) corresponding to a thickness of the layer (44). The height difference causes an inhomogeneous electric field in the space, providing a preferred direction of motion of the first fluid on application of the electric field.
