 Introduction
 E-Paper is also called Electronic Paper or

Electronic ink Display.

 It is a display unit.

 E-Paper is flexible.

 E-paper have a wide viewing angle.

 A digital pen is also used to create

handwritten document.
 History
 Developed in the 1970’s by Nick Sheridan at
Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center.
 The first electronic paper was called Gyricon.
 At the FPD 2008 exhibition, Japanese company
Soken demonstrated a wall with electronic wall-
paper using this technology.

Random example:
 USB flash drive with
 E Ink-implemented
 capacity meter of available
 flash memory.
 Technologies proposed
 Gyricon

 Electrophoretic display

 Electrowetting

 Electro fluidic display

 Interferometric modulator (Mirasol)

 Comparison of e-paper & lCD
Electronic Ink Display Liquid Crystal Display
Wide viewing angle Best image only from one position
Black on paper white Gray on gray

Readable in sunlight Can be difficult to see

Holds image without power drain Required power to hold images

Plastic or glass Glass only

Light Weight Power supply and glass make LCDs
relatively heavy
Thin (~1 mm) Thick (~7 mm)
 Applications
Electronic Book
Electronic Newspaper
Mobile display
Computer monitor
 Digital photo frames
 Time table at station
 Advantages
Paper-like readability
Sunlight and non-uniform light visibility
High reflectivity, high contrast & resolution
Viewing angle ~180 degree
Highly flexible
Ultra-Low Power Consumption
Long-term Bistable Image: content preserved without power
Prolonged battery life
 Disadvantages
Full color implementation- not yet.
Implementation of video on it- not yet.
Flexibility of the e-paper such that it can be rolled or folded-
not yet.
Develop it as such that it will reflect infra red rays and the
documents can be read by using night vision camera only, or so
that it can be used by military and security purposes.
 Conclusion
Researches found that in just few years this
technology can replace paper in many situations,
leading us to think of a truly paperless world.
