Embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the utility model is described in detail.
Refer to Fig. 3, which show the schematic diagram of a kind of embodiment of the utility model Electrowetting display panel.This Electrowetting display panel comprises upper substrate 1, the infrabasal plate 2 be oppositely arranged with upper substrate 1, be arranged on the hydrophobic layer 3 between upper and lower base plate 2, multiple pixel wall 4, multiple pixel cell, between hydrophobic layer 3 with infrabasal plate 2 and the multiple pixel electrodes 53 corresponding with multiple pixel cell, the public electrode 54 be positioned on upper substrate.
Described multiple pixel electrode 53 is arranged on described infrabasal plate 2 in rectangular, and this pixel electrode 53 is preferably obtained by transparent conductive material, as tin indium oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO).Pixel electrode 53 described in each comprises the first pixel sub-electrode 531 of mutually insulated and the second pixel sub-electrode 532(as shown in Figure 7), different voltage can be applied according to actual conditions.The large I of the first pixel sub-electrode 531 and the second pixel sub-electrode 532 requires specific design according to pixel cell aperture opening ratio; The second pixel sub-electrode 532 that second fluid 52 gathers rear correspondence is preferably distributed in on-off element, near the (not shown) of TFT silicon island, can improve pixel cell aperture opening ratio.
It is preferably that trellis is arranged on described hydrophobic layer 3 that described multiple pixel wall 4 is intersected, and the unit that adjacent pixel wall 4 defines is defined as pixel cell.The making material of described hydrophobic layer 3 comprises teflon, fluororesin or has little, the antiacid alkali resistant of surface tension according to P-xylene etc., resist the material of the performance of various organic solvent.The first fluid 51 that each pixel cell described comprises the printing opacity be filled between neighbor wall 4 and the second fluid 52 be filled between first fluid 51 and hydrophobic layer 3, this second fluid 52 is extinction fluid, and immiscible with first fluid 51; Wherein, preferably but do not limit ground, described first fluid 51 can be conduction light-transmissive fluid; Described second fluid 52 can be insulation extinction flowing liquid, and as the alkane of opaque ink or similar hexadecane, the present embodiment is preferably ink.
The height of described pixel wall 4 is not less than the thickness of second fluid 52 under its flat presentation, makes described second fluid 52 pixel wall 4 under its flat presentation can separate the second fluid 52 of different pixels unit.Pixel wall 4 is preferably made up of water wetted material.
When not applying any voltage to this Electrowetting display panel, this first fluid 51 and second fluid 52 are lamination setting, because this second fluid 52 is ink, therefore this Electrowetting display panel display ink colors.
When applying opposite voltage to the first pixel sub-electrode 531 and the second pixel sub-electrode 532, due to the existence of the second pixel sub-electrode 532 reverse voltage, make much smaller than the first pixel sub-electrode 531 of its comprehensive electric field, under this electric field action, first fluid 51 drives second fluid 52 to be more prone to gather to the second pixel sub-electrode 532 direction flowing fast, thus make this pixel cell printing opacity, as shown in Figure 4; When this pixel cell closed by needs, first pixel sub-electrode 531 corresponding to light transmission part does not have electric signal, namely its voltage is removed, a suitable voltage is applied to the second pixel sub-electrode 532 corresponding to second fluid 52, second fluid 52 can be forced to trickle faster to come in its flat presentation, substantially reduce the return time of second fluid 52, thus increase the response speed of Electrowetting display panel, as shown in Figure 5.
As the improvement of the present embodiment, more black when being in OFF state to make pixel cell, to increase contrast, can arrange a light-absorption layer 55 in the region of the first pixel sub-electrode 531 or the second pixel sub-electrode 532 correspondence, it is near infrabasal plate 2.Concrete enforcement as shown in Figure 6, one deck light-absorption layer 55 is made in the second pixel sub-electrode 532 corresponding region, then when this pixel cell needs to close, first pixel sub-electrode 531 does not have electric signal, and the second pixel sub-electrode 532 applies certain voltage, the thickness of second fluid 52 in the first pixel sub-electrode corresponding region is increased, acts in conjunction with light-absorption layer 55, thus make pixel cell more black when OFF state, add contrast.
As the improvement of the present embodiment, the pixel electrode 53 of this Electrowetting display panel can be reflecting electrode, namely described first pixel sub-electrode 531 and/or the second pixel sub-electrode 532 are reflecting electrode, and it can be the metal material with high reflectance, as silver, platinum, chromium, Mo and Mo alloys etc.
The utility model additionally provides a kind of display device, it comprises above-mentioned Electrowetting display panel and the on-off element that be electrically connected corresponding to each pixel electrode, controlled the voltage condition of the first pixel sub-electrode and the second pixel sub-electrode by on-off element, and then control first fluid and the distribution of second fluid on hydrophobic layer.Described on-off element preferred film field effect transistor TFT, the first pixel sub-electrode or the second pixel sub-electrode drain with TFT or source electrode is connected, and the second pixel sub-electrode or the first pixel sub-electrode are connected with TFT grid.
The utility model further provides a kind of display packing of Electrowetting display panel, when needs display pixel, contrary voltage is applied at the first pixel sub-electrode and the second pixel sub-electrode, due to the existence of a wherein pixel sub-electrode reverse voltage, make much smaller than another pixel sub-electrode corresponding region of the comprehensive electric field of its corresponding region, under this electric field action, the sub-electrode direction flowing that second fluid is more prone to comprehensive electric field is little is gathered, and makes the pixel transmittance that first fluid is corresponding; When pixel closed by needs, a pixel sub-electrode corresponding to light transmission part does not have voltage, namely removes its voltage, another pixel sub-electrode corresponding with second fluid applies suitable voltage, under the effect of electric field, make second fluid revert to OFF state fast, namely trickling is come in its flat presentation.The display packing of this Electrowetting display panel is by the voltage signal contrary or different with the connection of the second pixel sub-electrode to the first pixel sub-electrode of two mutually insulateds, not only driving voltage is lower, and be easy to fast realize pixel transmittance display and closed condition, namely second fluid shortens greatly from sprawling the time of shrinking state or sprawling from contraction state, improves the response speed of Electrowetting display panel.
The above embodiment only have expressed embodiment of the present utility model; it describes comparatively concrete and detailed; but therefore can not be interpreted as the restriction to the utility model the scope of the claims; in every case the technical scheme adopting the form of equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation to obtain, all should drop within protection domain of the present utility model.
