if one would want to control hundreds or thousands of valves at a

electromagnets to use as a solenoid directly on the membrane, or as a
single-channel displacement pump.

1000s of valves is a nightmare, especially as a routing problem... How about something like, optical addressing.

Single-sided continuous optoelectrowetting (SCOEW) for droplet manipulation with light patterns
