Abstract
An electrowetting display device comprising a first support plate, a second support plate and a picture element having a space defined by the first support plate, the second support plate and walls of the first support plate. The space comprises a first fluid and a second fluid immiscible with each other, the second fluid being electroconductive or polar and the walls confining the first fluid to the space. The picture element is electrically switchable between a first state without an electric field applied and a second state with an electric field applied, in which in the first state the first fluid is spread out in the picture element and in the second state the first fluid is contracted near one of the walls. Two of the walls have a side facing the space, the sides having different angles with a plane of the first support plate.
