Abstract

The invention provides an electrowetting display and a method for fabricating the same. The electrowetting display comprises a first electrode formed on a first substrate. A dielectric layer is formed on the first electrode. A plurality of ribs are formed on the dielectric layer. A hydrophobic layer is formed on the dielectric layer and between the ribs. A second substrate is disposed oppositely to the first substrate. A second electrode is formed on the second substrate. A plurality of supporting members are formed on the second electrode and aligned to the ribs to form an enclosed space. A polar solution and a non-polar solution are disposed in the enclosed space.
