This study focuses on electrowetting using two immmiscible liquids on a dielectric coating. It is demonstrated that low contact angle of oil on the hydrophobic surfaces is a key parameter to obtain a low hysteresis system, below 2 degrees. On the basis of these results, three aspects of the wetting properties have been studied: the influence of the surface hydrophobic properties, the design of the liquids according to the hydrophobic surface, and a graphical method to solve the Bartell-Osterhof equation and predict the wetting properties of two liquids on a surface. These results define clear design rules to obtain a low hysteresis system, useful for many applications from liquid lenses to displays and laboratory-on-a-chip.
