Abstract (en)
A micro-fluidic device (1) comprising actuation elements controlled by a two-dimensional array of a plurality of first electronic components (2) for processing a fluid and/or for sensing properties of the fluid is suggested. The active matrix includes a two-dimensional array of second electronic components realized in thin film technology. The active matrix provides a high versatility of the device. The thin film technology ensures a very cost efficient manufacturing also of large devices.
