Abstract
A transflective display device has a viewing side () and a rear side () and comprises a plurality of electrowetting elements () having a first support plate () facing the viewing side and a second support plate () facing the rear side. Each electrowetting element comprises a space () between the first support plate and the second support plate and includes a first fluid () and a second fluid () immiscible with each other. The second fluid absorbs at least a part of the optical spectrum. The position of the second fluid is controllable to cover a predetermined area () of the cross-section () of the space in the plane of the second support plate. A structured reflector () is arranged on the second support plate, comprising within the cross-section an area () transparent for light incident from the rear side and an area () reflective for light incident from the viewing side. The transparent area and the reflective area are arranged such that the predetermined area () covered by the second fluid covers the same proportion of the transparent area and the reflective area.
