Abstract
An electrowetting device includes an electrowetting element having a first fluid; a second fluid immiscible with the first fluid, a configuration of the first and second fluids being controllable with an applied voltage; and at least one electrode for providing the applied voltage. The electrowetting device includes a plurality of electrical elements for providing the applied voltage, which include a first electrical element and a second electrical element. A portion of the first electrical element overlaps a portion of the second electrical element. The electrowetting device includes a dielectric layer between the portions of the first and second electrical elements, the dielectric layer formed at least partly of a dielectric material having a dielectric constant less than 3.9.
