Electrowetting pixel with main and initiation electrodes and connected storage capacitors

An electrowetting display device, comprising:

• a first support plate and a second support plate opposite the first support plate;
• a first electrowetting pixel associated with a first plurality of pixel walls over the first support plate, the first plurality of pixel walls defining a first volume containing at least a first portion of an oil and an electrolyte fluid;
• a second electrowetting pixel adjacent the first electrowetting pixel, the second electrowetting pixel being associated with a second plurality of pixel walls over the first support plate, wherein the first plurality of pixel walls includes at least one pixel wall that is part of the second plurality of pixel walls, the second plurality of pixel walls defining a second volume containing at least a second portion of the oil and the electrolyte fluid;
• a first main pixel electrode over the first support plate underneath a first area defined by the first plurality of pixel walls;
• a second main pixel electrode over the first support plate underneath a second area defined by the second plurality of pixel walls, the first main pixel electrode being electrically connected to the second main pixel electrode;
• and
• a first transistor underneath the first area defined by the first plurality of pixel walls, the first transistor being electrically connected to the first main pixel electrode and the second main pixel electrode.
