How to display pictures and even videos on electrowetting displays (EWDs) still needs improvement. Therefore, we seek to develop a robust, portable and scalable system for the realization of high‐resolution EWDs. In this paper, a driving system for an 8 inch active matrix electrowetting display (AM‐EWD) based on a Field‐Programmable‐Gate‐Array (FPGA) is proposed, where the key components are an active matrix backplane, an FPGA driving waveform and driver integrated circuits (ICs). We successfully demonstrate an AM‐EWD with 1024×768 resolution and 16‐level gray‐scale realized by unique dynamic and asymmetric sub‐frame of FPGA. The whole system is just powered by a 3.7V 1100mAH lithium battery. Such a system has not been reported before, also well‐suited for transferring to a higher performance portable EWD in the future.

基于FPGA的高分辨率有源矩阵电润湿显示器便携式驱动系统

如何在电润湿显示器（EWD）上显示图片甚至视频仍然需要改进。因此，我们寻求开发一种功能强大，可移植且可扩展的系统，以实现高分辨率EWD。本文提出了一种基于现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）的8英寸有源矩阵电润湿显示器（AM‐EWD）驱动系统，其中关键组件是有源矩阵背板，FPGA驱动波形和驱动器集成电路（IC）。我们成功演示了通过独特的FPGA动态和非对称子帧实现的具有1024×768分辨率和16级灰度的AM-EWD。整个系统仅由3.7V 1100mAH锂电池供电。这种系统以前从未被报道过，也非常适合将来转移到更高性能的便携式EWD上。
