Abstract:
1. An electrowetting display device comprising: a lower substrate; a pixel electrode disposed on the lower substrate; a notch electrode spaced apart from the pixel electrode by an interval; a water-repellent layer covering the pixel electrode and the notch electrode; a partition disposed on the water-repellent layer; an oil layer disposed on the water-repellent layer between partitions; a reset signal line comprising the notch electrode and a connection between the notch electrode and an adjacent notch electrode; an upper substrate disposed on the lower substrate; a common electrode disposed between the lower substrate and the upper substrate; a reset signal generator connected to the reset signal line, wherein the reset signal generator is configured to generate and apply a reset signal to the notch electrode in the form of a voltage having a value that ranges between a high voltage and a low voltage, and wherein the value has a magnitude equal to a magnitude of a value of a voltage applied to the common electrode; and a gate driver connected to the pixel electrode and separate from the reset signal generator, wherein the gate driver is configured to supply a voltage to the pixel electrode having a value that ranges between the high voltage and the low voltage.
