E- PAPER TECHNOLOGY

INTRODUCTION The first E – paper is developed in 1974’s by Nicholas k Sheridon at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Centre.

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.

WHAT IS E – PAPER ? E – Paper is an electronic ink display unit.

It reflect light like ordinary paper. It is capable of holding text and images.

It is more comfortable to read than conventional display.

A wider viewing angle. Light weight and durable. Low power consumption.

CONSTRUCTION OF E - PAPER It has two different parts. They are: Front plane. Back plane. The front plane consist of E – ink. The back plane consist of electonic circuits.

BACK PLANE LAYOUT

PROPERTIES Ultra-thin and flexible energy cell. Eliminates the cost of the battery ,weight and volume of the battery holder.

It can be made into almost any shape.

It can be integrated on almost any surface.

ADVANTAGES Paper-like Readability. Ultra-Low Power Consumption. clarity. Reduced Eyestrain. Mobile Display Solution. Include Graphics.

DISADVANTAGES Very low switching speed. Electrochemical complexity. Slow response to change. Too slow for video. Problems in extremes temperatures,humidity.

APPLICATIONS Electronic Book. Electronic Newspaper. Mobile Display. Computer Monitor.

FUTURE OF E - PAPER The E – paper is a Flexible display. It is easy to use. E – paper can communicate satellite or other

computers easily.
