62.4: The Structure and Manufacturing Process of Large Area Transparent Electrowetting Display

Abstract

Abstract Transparent display is currently an interesting topic in the display technologies for mobile device, monitor, shopping window or smart window application. This paper described the large area (14 inch) transparent electrowetting display (EWD) by using two‐layer hydrophilic rib structure and manufacturing process is proposed as well. This work included two parts: structure and process development of large area transparent electrowetting display and the implementation of two‐layer hydrophilic rib structure and plasma treatment in the manufacturing process for electrowetting display. The two‐layer structure material and plasma treatment is implemented to modify the manufacturing process and improve the panel performance. The development of this study realized the concept of transparent electrowetting display with large size display area.
