Shown in Figure 1B, eyes element 101 comprises conducting liquid 140, first electrode 111 and second electrode 112.Conducting liquid 140 is in order to present the pupil pattern.First electrode 111 is coupled to conducting liquid 140.Second electrode 112 and first electrode 111 and conducting liquid 140 electrical isolation.Wherein, first electrode 111 and second electrode 112 produce first voltage and are worse than conducting liquid 140, can make conducting liquid 140 deformation, diffusion or mobile, and change the pupil pattern.
As mentioned above, the display packing of eye module 100 comprises at least: form first voltage and be worse than conducting liquid 140, this first voltage difference is produced by first electrode 111 and second electrode 112.Shown in Figure 1B, first electrode, the 111 corresponding first current potential V111, second electrode, the 112 corresponding second current potential V112.This first voltage difference is the poor of the first current potential V111 and the second current potential V112.
Wherein, conducting liquid 140 is to have electrolytical liquid, for example is saline solution or electrolyte etc.In the present embodiment, the material of conducting liquid 140 is transparent materials.Insulating barrier 150 is glass or epoxy resin.In the present embodiment, insulating barrier 150 is clear glasses.The material of first electrode 111 and second electrode 112 is that (indiumtin oxide, ITO), tin indium oxide (ITO) is a kind of electrically conducting transparent material for metal material or tin indium oxide.In the present embodiment, first electrode 111 and second electrode 112 are tin indium oxide (ITO).
Conducting liquid 140 intercepts between first electrode 111 and second electrode 112 by insulating barrier 150, and forms electricity moistening (electro-wetting) phenomenon by first voltage difference that first electrode 111 and second electrode 112 are produced.The moistening phenomenon of electricity will cause conducting liquid 140 to produce deformation, diffusion or phenomenon such as move.Be summarized as follows as for the principle of the moistening phenomenon of electricity and the phenomenon of generation thereof:
Shown in Figure 1B, when the first current potential V111 of first electrode, 111 correspondences was slightly less than the second current potential V112 of (even being equal to) second electrode 112 correspondences, conducting liquid 140 formed first voltage difference (V112-V111) with the contact surface 150a of insulating barrier 150.First electrode 111 injects negative electrical charge behind conducting liquid 140, because insulating barrier 150 intercepts between the conducting liquid 140 and second electrode 112, make the negative electrical charge in the conducting liquid 140 will be gathered in contact surface 150a place, and the positive charge in the insulating barrier 150 is gathered in the 150a of contact surface place.In Figure 1B, first voltage difference (V112-V111) considerably little (even equating) only has the negative electrical charge of small part and positive charge to be gathered in contact surface 150a place.Therefore contact surface 150a presents hydrophobic property, and conducting liquid 140 shrinks and be protruding on contact surface 150a.At this moment, the surface curvature of conducting liquid 140 is bigger.
Please refer to Fig. 2 A, the schematic diagram of the state that its conducting liquid 100 that Figure 1B is shown spreads.As the first current potential V111 of first electrode, 111 correspondences during significantly less than the second current potential V112 of second electrode, 112 correspondences, conducting liquid 140 forms bigger first voltage difference (V112-V111) with the contact surface 150a of insulating barrier 150.First electrode 111 injects more negative electrical charge in conducting liquid 140, makes more negative electrical charge be gathered in contact surface 150a place, and more positive charge is gathered in the 150a of contact surface place.In Fig. 2 A, first voltage difference (V112-V111) is considerably big, and many negative electrical charges and positive charge are gathered in contact surface 150a place.Therefore contact surface 150a presents hydrophilic nmature, and conducting liquid 140 diffusions are also divided on contact surface 150a.At this moment, the surface curvature of conducting liquid 140 is less.
