In the past, electrowetting‐based displays have been successfully demonstrated in reflective mode, showing video capability and high optical performances. In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time that this technology can be extended to the transmissive mode enabling a large variety of applications. This paper describes the main technical and system aspects and explores the capability of this high efficiency optical switch.
