August ί9. Days by _ page VI. Description of the invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] [0001] The present invention relates to a transflective electrowetting display device. [Prior Art] [0002] Today, many photovoltaic technologies are rapidly developing and applied to next-generation flat panel displays such as Projection Display, Flexible Dispaly, and the like. In this environment, a display device based on the electrowetting principle has received wide attention due to its fast response speed, wide viewing angle, low power consumption, and light and portable. [0003] Referring to FIG. 1, a schematic diagram of a planar structure of a transflective electrowetting display device disclosed in the prior art. The display device 1 includes a plurality of pixel units 10 arranged in a matrix, and by controlling the pixel units 1 to display different gray scales to form a screen to be displayed by the display device 1. [Wake] Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a pixel unit 10 of the transflective electrowetting display device j shown in FIG. 1 . The pixel unit 1 includes an upper substrate 11 , a substrate 12 opposite thereto, four sidewalls 13 disposed between the two substrates 11 , 12 , and a backlight module 19 stacked on the lower substrate 12 . The side walls 13 are connected end to end to form a receiving space 14 with the two substrates 11 and 12. The two substrates 11, 12 are made of a transparent material such as glass or plastic. [0005] The accommodating space 14 is filled with a first liquid 15 and a second liquid 16 which are incompatible with each other. For example, the first liquid 15 is electrically conductive water, the second liquid 16 is black oil 'as a shielding liquid for absorbing light beams 〇 096127497 Form No. A0101 Page 3 of 24 Page 1003305650-0 1356188 100 years. August 19 The lower substrate 12 is provided with a reflective layer 121, a transparent electrode layer 122 and an insulating layer 123 adjacent to the surface of the receiving space 14. The transparent electrode layer 122 covers the reflective layer 121 and the lower substrate 12. The insulating layer 123 covers the transparent electrode layer 122. The reflective layer 121 corresponds to a portion of the pixel unit 10 which divides the pixel unit 10 into a reflective region 181 and a transmissive region 182. Wherein the reflective layer 121 is made of a high-reflectivity material, and the transparent electrode layer 122 may be made of indium tin oxide (ITO), which is made of a hydrophobic (Hydrophobic) material, such as an amorphous type. Fluoropolymer (Amorphous F1 uoropo 1 ymer) ° [0007] Due to the hydrophobicity of the insulating layer 123, that is, due to the surface tension between the insulating layer 123, the first liquid 15 and the second liquid 16 (Interfacial Tension) The second liquid 16 is sufficiently covered to cover the insulating layer 123. Therefore, the light beam emitted by the backlight module 19 cannot be penetrated by the second liquid 16, and the ambient light is also absorbed by the second liquid 16 and cannot reach the reflective layer 121. Therefore, the pixel unit 1 is dark. (Off State). [0008] Please refer to FIG. 3 together, which is a schematic diagram of the bright state structure of the pixel unit shown in FIG. 2. When a voltage difference is applied to the first liquid 15 and the transparent electrode layer 122, the redistribution of charge destroys the equilibrium state of the molecular tension in the dark state, that is, the intervention of the potential energy causes the insulating layer 123 and the first The liquid 15 tends to be in contact, so that the first liquid 15 aligns the second liquid 16 so that the ambient light can be reflected by the reflective area 181 not shielded by the second liquid 16, and the backlight emitted by the backlight module 19 can penetrate. The penetrating region 182, which is not covered by the second liquid 16, achieves a semi-transflective state. [0009] 096127497 Please refer to FIG. 4a to FIG. 4c'. The pixel unit 1 shown in FIG. 2 displays different gray scale form numbers A0101 4th page/24 pages 1003305650-0 1356188 [0010] [0012] 096127497 Ιύο年.08 i9 The plan of the plane structure when the page is replaced. When the second liquid 16 is completely covered by the pixel unit 10 and its edge is moved to the area shown in FIG. 4a, the gray area change rate of the reflective area 181 of the pixel unit 10 is large, but the penetration area 182 is gray. The rate of change of the order is small. When the edge of the second liquid 16 continues to move to the area shown in Fig. 4b, the gray-scale change rate of the reflection area 181 is small, but the gray-scale change rate of the penetration area 182 is large. When the edge of the second liquid 16 continues to move to the fully bright state shown in Fig. 4c, the gray level of the reflection zone 181 does not change, but the penetration zone 182 has a large rate of change. Therefore, although the transflective electro-wetting display device 1 realizes transflective reflection, the gray level of the reflection region 181 moves with the movement of the second liquid 16, and the gray scale does not change, that is, the semi-transparent half. When the reflective electrowetting display device 1 changes the gray scale voltage, the control force for the gray scale of the reflective display mode is lost, so that the transflective electrowetting display device 1 has a poor display effect. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is essential to provide a transflective electrowetting display device having a better display effect.
