Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a method for improving the lens diopter of 2D/3D convertible devices using electro-wetting. For stable operation, an electro-wetting device requires high dioptric performance and this was achieved using bi-convex liquid-liquid-solid phases. 1-Chloronaphthalene with a refractive index of 1.633 was used as an oil phase to achieve high diopters. ETPTA (trimethylolpropane ethoxylate triacrylate), a UV-sensitive material with low chemical reactivity to the 1-Chloronaphthalene, was used as a chamber material. This resulted in a diopter of 3030D for high quality multi-view images without unstable oil movement or trembling. The ETPTA was molded on a 0.3mm thick glass substrate that was coated with UV adhesive (NOA 81). The maximum diopter capable of stable operation was 3425D. 2D and 3D conversion and parallax motion were demonstrated.
