Microdroplet Actuation via Light Line Optoelectrowetting (LL-OEW)

Figure 1

Sketch in top-view of a lab chip in the light line OEW (LL-OEW) case. The light line touches and actuates/moves the droplet. A sideways movement of the light line drags/pulls the droplet to the side as well. Depending on exact parameters, the droplet might also be pushed [44].
