Abstract

The invention discloses an electrowetting drive waveform generation method based on equipower. The electrowetting drive waveform generation method is characterized in that: power is shown as a formula in the description, wherein in the formula, g1 (t) is a waveform function during the period from t0 to t1, g2 (t) is a waveform function during the period from t1 to t2, and V1 is constant positive voltage connected to a pixel electrode; when the same power is maintained, the driving voltage is gradually increased at a driving stage, namely the stage from t0 to t1, and a voltage difference reaches the maximum value at t1 moment; and the voltage difference is reduced to 0 at a recovery stage, namely the stage from t1 to t2. The invention further discloses an electrowetting drive waveform generation system based on equipower. The electrowetting drive waveform generation system comprises a single chip microcomputer, an operational amplifier and a DAC0832, wherein an output end of the single chip microcomputer is connected with an input end of the DAC0832, and an output end of the DAC0832 is connected with an input end of the operational amplifier. The electrowetting drive waveform generation method and the electrowetting drive waveform generation device reduce the effective power of the drive waveforms, prolong the service life of electrowetting devices, adopt the gradually-changing waveforms, prevent printing ink from dividing the process of movement, and are widely used in the field of electrowetting.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrowetting, in particular to a method and system for generating electrowetting driving waveforms based on equal power. Background technique [0002] Electrowetting is a phenomenon in which the droplet is deformed and displaced by changing the voltage between the droplet and the insulating substrate, thereby changing the wettability of the droplet on the substrate, that is, changing the contact angle. [0003] Coat an oleophilic and hydrophobic insulating layer on the TFT electrode layer, use photolithographic materials to build a pixel wall on the insulating layer, and then coat a layer of black pigment oil film on the bottom of the pixel, place the entire substrate in water, and encapsulate it with the upper ITO glass Together they form the display. When the pixel is not powered on, the ink covers the entire bottom of the pixel, and the pixel presents the color of the ink at this time; when the lower TFT subs...
