Abstract
A light transmission control using the electroosmotic convergence of liquid along the surface of a glass substrate has been studied. The experimental cell was composed of a thin liquid layer coated onto the glass plate with transparent interdigital electrodes. Dynamic behavior of the electroosmotic convergence of liquid was clarified and the flat pattern display device was successfully demonstrated. Experimental performance characteristics and response characteristics of the cells were investigated. The optimum volume of liquid coating for high sensitivity and fast response operation of the cells was also analyzed.
