Figure 3. — The concept of VTR as illustrated with DEP and ODEP electrodes. (a) For the DEP device, an applied voltage (V₁) repels the droplet to X distance away (b) while it only repels the same droplet to Y distance (Y < X)) at the same applied voltage for the ODEP device since a significant voltage drop occurs on the photoconductive layer. (c) If the applied voltage is increased to V₂ (>V1), this results in the same repelled distance (X). V₁/V₂ is defined in this manner for the VTR model in this study.
