Optimization of the droplet pixel.

Caption

(a) Electric field distributions inside droplets with various side length (L) of 145, 245, 345, 445 and 545 μm at a fixed height (H) of 145 μm, and with various H of 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 μm at a fixed L of 345 μm. (b) x-component of ∇|Erms|2 (∇E2x) distribution along the radial line from the center to the right edge of the droplet (marked in green) at different L. (c) ∇E2x distribution along the radial line from the center to the right edge of the droplet at different H. (d) Simulated electric field distribution in a conductive 3D water droplet surrounded by an insulating oil. (e) Details and overall appearance of the States I, II and III of droplet arrays. (f) Repeatability and reliability test of a droplet array.
