Abstract

Cette invention concerne un appareil pour affichage à électromouillage électroluminescent qui comprend : un premier et un deuxième substrat disposés parallèlement à une certaine distance l'un de l'autre ; un premier et un deuxième fluide placés entre le premier et le deuxième substrat, au moins un de ces fluides présentant une conductivité ou une polarité donnée et ne se mélangeant pas avec l'autre ; une première et une deuxième électrode utilisées pour appliquer une tension respectivement sur le premier et le deuxième fluide ; et une couche isolante disposée entre le deuxième fluide et la première électrode. Du fait que le premier substrat est également composé d'une couche luminescente comportant des matériaux luminescents imprimés sur sa face interne de façon qu'on obtienne des motifs de couleur, cette invention vise à présenter une image de manière qu'un phosphore émettant de la lumière par rayonnement UV soit imprimé sur la surface et que la zone de surface du fluide soit commandée au moyen d'un phénomène d'électromouillage.
