It is to embody device to express the most intuitive factor of contrast size that the aperture opening ratio of element, which shows electrowetting,.
By the threshold voltage that is driven in existing slice, thin piece is+(threshold voltage is according to the difference of electrowetting material by -12V
And different), (do not puncture picture in a stepping manner and in the voltage range that electrowetting can be born to find optimal drive voltage
Vegetarian refreshments), optimal drive voltage is+- 20V, and voltage continues to be easy to cause the damage of electrowetting slice, thin piece if increasing.Wherein driving voltage
For+- 15V when aperture opening ratio be 43.6%.
Optimal drive voltage based on square wave is+- 20V, by v in involved triangular wave and trapezoidal wave1It is set as
20V can be obtained at this time according to the characteristic of three kinds of different waves:The power of the triangular wave of 20V is equivalent to+square wave of -10V, and

Mode, first increase to maximum voltage and then slowly reduce;Into recovery time, when pressure difference therein is reduced under threshold voltage
When will stop driving.It is compared with square wave, the equal abruptly increase of driving voltage, but triangular wave first increases to maximum voltage and then slowly subtracts
Enter recovery time less, will stop driving when pressure difference therein is reduced under threshold voltage.Its period of the triangular wave is
The half of square wave, in comparison power reduce half, the initial voltage of triangular wave driving is as square wave, then subtracting slowly
It is few, in square wave of the aperture opening ratio better than+- 10V of the triangular wave of constant power 20V.The triangular wave compares with trapezoidal wave, ladder
Shape wave is more in line with the kinetic property of ink by the way of gradually increasing voltage.
Under the premise of Same Efficieney, their power is the same, but the aperture opening ratio of triangular wave and trapezoidal wave is substantially better than
Square wave.In a certain range, Electrowetting device is driven using the drive waveforms of triangular wave and trapezoidal wave, can not only made out
