Three-color electrowetting (EW) reflective display devices have been achieved using a vertical stack structure with colored oils. Fundamental properties (interface tension and geometry) of the EW process were investigated. Arrays of ∼ 1000–2000 pixels were constructed with pixel sizes of 200×600 and 300×900 μm2. Each color layer can be switched independently. Open (oil-free) area fraction of ∼ 80% in each cell is achieved at ∼ 10–12 V. Switch-on times range from 5 to 15 ms, suitable for video content display. These characteristics demonstrate that the EW vertical structure has the potential to produce attractive video-speed color reflective electronic paper devices.
