1. A fluidic droplet pixel, the fluidic droplet pixel comprising: a first platform comprising a first substrate, a first pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate, and a first pixel dielectric layer disposed on the first substrate, the first pixel electrode being disposed between the first substrate and the first pixel dielectric layer, the first platform presenting a first hydrophobic surface opposite the first substrate, the first platform further comprising an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) comprising source and drain electrodes separated by an organic semiconductor channel, and a gate electrode separated from the source and drain electrodes by a gate dielectric layer, said organic thin film transistor being disposed between the first substrate and the first hydrophobic surface, and a second platform comprising a second substrate, a second pixel electrode disposed on the second substrate, and a second pixel dielectric layer disposed on the second substrate, the second pixel electrode being disposed between the second substrate and the second pixel dielectric layer, the second platform presenting a second hydrophobic surface opposite the second substrate; wherein the first hydrophobic surface and the second hydrophobic surface define boundaries of a fluidic channel between the first platform and the second platform; and wherein each of the gate dielectric layer, the first pixel dielectric layer, and the second pixel dielectric layer comprise an organic polymer as the major component; and the organic thin film transistor is configured to provide a switchable voltage bias between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode.
