Abstract Electrowetting displays show promise for realizing vividly colorful electronic paper using stacked color layers to obtain high reflectivity. We develop and demonstrate technologies needed to realize stacked displays including (1) strategies for controlling colorant location, (2) incorporating spacers, black surround, and thin seals, and (3) building working modules on flexible substrates.
