INTRODUCTION
The first E-Paper was developed in 1974s by Nicholas K Sheridon at Xeroxs Palo Alto Research Centre.
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.
CONSTRUCTION OF E-PAPER
The front plane consist of E-ink. The back plane consist of electronic circuits.
To form an E-ink electronic display the ink is printed onto a plastic film that is laminated to a layer of circuitry.
GYRICON
The first Gyricon developed in 1974 by Nickolas K Sheridon at Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre. It is based on a thin sheet of flexible plastic containing a layer of tiny plastic beads each encapsulated in oil and it rotate freely.
LIMITATIONS Low brightness and resolution. Lack of color. Other form of E-ink with improve properties compared to Gyricon is Electrophoretic.
Electrophoretic
Electrophoretic Each
micro capsule is filled with a clear fluid containing positively charged white particle and black particle. The disadvantage of this technology is it take time for the particle to move from one side to another. Electrowetting It is used to display coloured images.
PROPERTIES
Plastic or glass
Light Weight Thin (~1 mm)
Glass only
Power supply and glass make LCDs relatively heavy Thick (~7 mm)
ADVANTAGES
Paper-like Readability Clarity Reduced Eyestrain Include Graphics Inexpensive
DISADVANTAGES
Very low switching speed Electrochemical complexity
APPLICATIONS
Electronic Book
Electronic Newspaper Mobile display Computer monitor
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.
