Abstract
A pattern electrode structure stacked between a base material and a dielectric layer of an electro-wetting device includes a center branch electrode extending in a first direction, and a plurality of sub-branch electrodes extending from the center branch electrode in an inclined direction relative to the first direction. According to the present disclosure, self-cleaning performance can be more efficiently exhibited even for small droplets.

A pattern electrode structure for an electro-wetting device, which is stacked between a base material and a dielectric layer of the electro-wetting device, the pattern electrode structure comprising:
- a first electrode;
- and
- a second electrode,
- wherein the first electrode includes a first center branch electrode extending, in a first direction, from an upper end of the pattern electrode structure to a predetermined height and a plurality of first sub-branch electrodes extending from the first center branch electrode in an inclined direction relative to the first direction,
- wherein the second electrode includes a second center branch electrode extending, in the first direction, from a lower end of the pattern electrode structure to a predetermined height and a plurality of second sub-branch electrodes extending from the second center branch electrode in an inclined direction relative to the first direction, and
- wherein a polarity of the first center branch electrode and a polarity of the second center branch electrode are different.
