Abstract
The purpose of this paper is based on micro fabrication technology, while integrating planar waveguide technology and the scattering phenomenon generated by electro-statically actuator thin film, to develop a 2-dimensional display technology capable of being cleared and re-displayed. For thin film displacement, the restoration of inward elasticity needs to be overcome. During thin film displacement, attraction due to suction occurs when coming into contact with light waveguide; electrostatic force and elastic force are restored and mutually balanced, causing display to light up. On the other hand, when input voltage is released, electrostatic force stops and thin film is restored to original position, causing display to darken. The design structure uses SU-8 as supporting posts, and PDMS as the electrostatic thin film suspended above the glass substrate (light waveguide). The experimental results show that a waveguide with an electrode length of 250 μm (sub-pixel length), a micro-post height of 27 μm, and a PDMS film thickness of 16 μm requires an actuator voltage of 314 V; and a micro-post height of 27 μm, and a PDMS film thickness of 8 μm requires an actuator voltage of 189 V. Thus, with an arrayed micro-electrode design, electronic paper and panels with large color display area could be manufactured.
