  • Patent number: 9784965
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a display element, a photosensitive composition and an electrowetting display. The display element includes: a first electrode layer stack; a second electrode layer stack; a housing space formed between the first and second electrode layer stacks; and a partition wall compartmentalizing the housing space, wherein the housing space contains at least a polar liquid and a non-polar liquid that are immiscible with each other, at least the surface of the first or second electrode layer stack in contact with the housing space is hydrophobic, and the non-polar liquid has a static contact angle in a range of from 15 to 85° on the surface of the partition wall.
