Abstract
An electrowetting device includes: a liquid-confining member including a base and an electrode unit supported on the base, the liquid-confining member defining an inner chamber; a first liquid of a magnetic ink disposed in the inner chamber; and a second liquid of a polar material disposed in the inner chamber and immiscible with the first liquid. The first and second liquids contact each other to define a liquid-liquid interface therebetween.
Claims6
An electrowetting device comprising:
- a liquid-confining member including a base and an electrode unit supported on said base, said liquid-confining member defining an inner chamber;
- a first liquid of a magnetic ink disposed in said inner chamber;
- and
- a second liquid of a polar material disposed in said inner chamber and immiscible with said first liquid, said first and second liquids contacting each other to define a liquid-liquid interface therebetween;
- wherein said electrode unit is adapted to be connected to an external power source for providing an electric field across said liquid-liquid interface;
- and
- wherein said liquid-liquid interface has a shape that varies in response to a change in the electric field across said liquid-liquid interface.
