Abstract

Abstract : Electrowetting‐on‐dielectrics has found a wide range of industrial applications, yet the classical contact angle saturation always limits the performance. On page 2994, J. Shao and co‐workers propose a new approach for overcoming this limit by using a time‐modulated square‐wave voltage to control the charge trapping at the liquid‐solid interfaces.
