Statistical Mechanics of Electrowetting [PDF]

Entropy
We derive the ab initio equilibrium statistical mechanics of the gas–liquid–solid contact angle on planar periodic, monodisperse, textured surfaces subject to electrowetting. To that end, we extend an earlier theory that predicts the advance or recession

Research on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Electronic Paper Pixels Based on Electrowetting [PDF]

Micromachines, 2023
In this paper, we propose a driving waveform with a complex ramp pulse for an electrowetting display system. The relationship between the contact angle and viscosity of inks was calculated based on the fluid-motion characteristics of different ...

Electrowetting display of multiscale Gamma based on dynamic histogram equilibrium [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Due to the problem of hysteretic contact angle and inconsistent aperture caused by charge capture in chromatic inks of electrowetting electronic paper, the reflected brightness and contrast of the display are reduced. The existing optimization methods of

Electrowetting of soap bubbles [PDF]

Applied Physics Letters, 2013
A proof-of-concept demonstration of the electrowetting-on-dielectric of a sessile soap bubble is reported here. The bubbles are generated using a commercial soap bubble mixture—the surfaces are composed of highly doped, commercial silicon wafers covered with nanometer thick films of Teflon®.

Electrowetting on glassy carbon substrates. [PDF]

Nanoscale Adv
Electrowetting on a glassy carbon substrate is demonstrated. The process is irreversible, in contrast to earlier observations of reversible wetting seen with basal plane graphite.

Influence of the Ground Electrode on the Dynamics of Electrowetting

Micromachines, 2023
The ability to manipulate a liquid meniscus using electrowetting has many applications. In any electrowetting design, at least two electrodes are required: one forms the field to change the contact angle and the other functions as a ground electrode. The
