This paper reports on the electrowetting behavior of a flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) microlens array. A Cr and Au double-layered electrode was formed on an array of microlenses with diameters of 10 mu m and heights of 13 ion. A deposition of parylene and it coating of Teflon were followed for electrical insulation as well as for enhancement of the hydrophobicity. On the nearly superhydrophobic microlens array surface, the electrowetting of a deionized water droplet was observed over the contact angle range of similar to 140 degrees to similar to 58 degrees by applying 0-200 V, respectively. The electrowetting phenomenon was reversible even in air environment with applied voltages of less than 100 V. The electrowetting on the microlens array surface lost its reversibility after the microlens array surface was completely wetted when the water meniscus touched the bottom of the microlens array. Analysis of meniscus shapes and net force direction follows to elucidate the reversibility. The convex curvature of the microlens caused gradual rather than abrupt impalement of water into the gap among the microlenses.
