ResumoImagine a drop of water lying on a surface, pulled into a ball by surface tension. With electricity it is possible to change the shape of the drop and cause it to flatten out. This is electrowetting, a physical phenomenon which has aroused great interest in recent years as it has found new applications. Here we will describe the phenomenon and two of its applications: variable-focus liquid lenses and paper-thin, video-rate, reflective color displays.
