Abstract

The article focuses on electronic ink. The company Gyricon calls it Smart Paper and E Ink Corp. calls it electronic ink. Both companies have developed and are marketing a new type of electronic paper that could vastly change communications and visual media technology. As a display technology, ink on paper has many advantages. Gyricon and E Ink are betting that paper coated with electronic ink can enhance the value and pleasure traditionally associated with reading a printed, bound book. Both of these companies are striving to maximize commercialization opportunities with a new display technology that imitates the best properties of plain old paper.

Abstract

The article discusses about electronic paper. The story of electronic paper (e-paper), so far, has proved to be what could be termed techno-hyperenthusiasm. Electronically rewritable paper requires two basic components. A substrate and something electrically controllable that can serve as the ink. If the epaper material has good enough image retention, it can be written by a device analogous to a printer, and then taken out and used just like a normal sheet of paper.
