Hello.
Can someone explain to me what does ##V_i=L## and ##V_i=H## mean in CMOS inverters?

Does Vin equals a logic LOW signal, and Vin equals a logic HIGH signal, fit the context? The allowable voltage range of each level is dependent on the supply voltage. Remember that CMOS can operate over a wide range of supply voltages.

I just found the answer! Yes you are right. Vin = L= 0v and Vin=H=Vdd
