Abstract
Provided is a display device using electrowetting including a reservoir layer in which a reservoir for storing oil and transparent water-soluble liquid is formed. A first electrode and a second electrode may be formed on an upper surface of the reservoir layer and on an inner wall of the reservoir, respectively.
Claims23
A display device including a plurality of pixels, each comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate arranged a distance apart from each other;
- a reservoir layer on the first substrate and including a reservoir;
- a first electrode and a second electrode on an upper surface of the reservoir layer and on an inner wall of the reservoir, respectively;
- a first dielectric layer on the reservoir layer to cover the first and second electrodes, the first dielectric layer having a hydrophobic surface;
- a third electrode on a lower surface of the second substrate;
- a second dielectric layer on the lower surface of the second substrate to cover the third electrode, the second dielectric layer having a hydrophobic surface;
- and
- a transparent water-soluble liquid and an oil having a color filling a space between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer.
