  • Patent number: 10324282
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a pixel array for an electrofluidic display element, comprising a plurality of adjacent pixels that form the pixel array, each pixel having a pixel chamber with a polygonal, preferably rectangular, pixel surface and a height. Each pixel has at least one main reservoir channel which opens, via a first width (D) and length (L), into the pixel chamber and a single- or multi-part reservoir channel which surrounds the chamber, borders the pixel surface and opens, along its length and a second width into the pixel chamber. A polar and/or electrically conductive liquid is or can be held in the pixels, said liquid being capable of motion back-and-forth between the reservoir channels and the pixel chamber by the application of an electric field, and the reservoir channels surrounding adjacent pixels run towards each other in a corner region in which the adjacent pixels border one another.
