The screen printing of amorphous fluoropolymer films as insulators for electrofluidic display device use is demonstrated. Screen printing enables the hydrophobic dielectric to be directly patterned at device level with the required film thickness as well as excellent material utilisation. The films give very good electrical performance, with high uniformity and dielectric strength, and the resulting devices exhibit comparable electro‐optic behaviour to those fabricated with spin‐coated films.
