ELECTRONIC PAPER TECHNOLOGY

Today's electronic displays have ever more evolved to be more lightweight, efficient and clear. Yet the importance of the paper has not diminished. We still prefer it to others for a variety of reasons including its readability, high contrast, convenient handling, minimum power requirement cost and strainless reading it offers. At the same time, an electronic display offers us a paperless environment and relieves us from carrying loads of paper for referring to information when required. Electronic paper and e-paper are display devices that mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper. E-paper comprises two different parts: the first is electronic ink, sometimes referred to as the “frontplane”; and the second is the electronics required to generate the pattern of text and images on the e-ink page, called the “backplane”. It is portable reusable storage and display medium that look like paper but can be repeatedly written one thousands of times. Electronic ink is a pioneering invention that combines all the desired features of a modern electronic display and the sheer convenience and physical versatility of sheetof paper. E-paper or electronic paper is sometimes called radio paper or smart paper.Electronic paper reflects light like ordinary paper and is capable of holding text andimages indefinitely without drawing electricity or using processor power, while allowingthe paper to be changed.
