8.1: Invited Paper: A High‐Brightness Electrofluidic Display Film

Electrofluidic displays operate by transposing a pigment between an optically hidden or revealed state. The transposition is powered by electromechanical force, and over similar distance switches ∼100X faster than electrophoresis by moving the pigment with the fluid, not through the fluid. We report on progress with our previously reported pixel structures, and on a new electrofluidic film that is the first of its kind for all fluidic displays (electrowetting, electrophoretic, electrokinetic, electrofluidic). The new structure operates without capsules or pixel walls for fluid confinement, and requires no pixel electrode alignment.
