Abstract

By using a bending deformation of an electroactive elastomer, we proposed and fabricated a deformable coloring element. The proposed element is composed of a flexible plate of TiO_2-loaded PDMS (TL-PDMS) and bottom-arranged electrodes. TL-PDMS is used because of durability, response speed, and producibility. The bottom arrangement of electrodes achieves a simple fabrication for a display device. In this paper, we measured the time response of the repetitive bending deformation of a TL-PDMS with bottom-arranged electrodes to find the bending-characteristic of TL-PDMS. Finally, we fabricated a 1 × 3 dot array of proposed coloring elements and demonstrated a color change by using bending deformation of TL-PDMS.
