چکیده
We present an emissive light valve approach which possesses ~10-40X higher theoretical luminous efficiency than transmissive LCD light valves. This innovative light valve approach has been applied to a novel fluorescent display technology utilizing light wave coupling. Switchable pixelation has been achieved using an innovative electrowetting modulation method. Maximum luminance values of 950, 5530, and 530 cd/m have been achieved for red, green, and blue emission, respectively. Switching speeds of ~100 ms and ~10 ms for ON/OFF switching have been demonstrated, respectively.

Flat Electrowetting Optics
A new class of liquid electro-optics based on electrowetting is able to replicate the high performance of solid geometrical optics. Scaled-down electrowetting optics can be arrayed in order to achieve a flat and large area form factor. Techniques for applying electrowetting devices to light valves and arrayed microprisms are reviewed. Electrowetting light valves (ELVs) reconfigure the geometry ...
متن کاملMicrofluidics for electronic paper-like displays.
Displays are ubiquitous in modern life, and there is a growing need to develop active, full color, video-rate reflective displays that perform well in high-light conditions. The core of display technology is to generate or manipulate light in the visible wavelength. Colored fluids or fluids with particles can be used to tune the light intensity (greyscale) or wavelength (colors) of reflective d...

A light-actuated microfluidic device has been successfully fabricated to inject, move, separate, and merge liquid droplets with nano-liter volumes. Light actuation is realized by sandwiching the liquid droplets between two photosensitive surfaces whose wettability can he changed by light. By integrating a photoconductor with an electrowetting electrode, the surface tension at the liquidsolid in...
متن کاملAnalysis and optimization on the angular color shift of RGB OLED displays
Microcavites contribute to enhancing the optical efficiency and color saturation of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. A major tradeoff of the strong cavity effect is its apparent color shift, especially for RGB-based OLED displays, due to their mismatched angular intensity distributions. To mitigate the color shift, in this work we first analyze the emission spectrum shifts and an...
