    This document discusses e-paper technology. E-paper is an electronic display that mimics the appearance of ordinary ink on paper and can hold text and images indefinitely without power. It was first developed in 1974. E-paper has properties like flexibility, wide viewing angles, and ability to be read in sunlight without fading. It has applications in electronic books, newspapers, and mobile displays. The document compares e-paper to LCD displays and discusses advantages like low power consumption and portability, as well as disadvantages like slow switching speeds.

    E-PAPER
    TECHNOLOGY
     Introduction
     What is E-paper ?
     Construction of E-paper
     Working
     Properties
     Comparision of E-paper & LCD
     Advantages
     Dis-advantages
     Apllication
     Future Scope
     Conclusion
     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.
     A digital pen is also used to create handwritten
    document.
     E-Paper is an electronic ink display unit.
     It reflect light like ordinary paper.

     It is capable of holding text and images.

     It is flexible while using plastic materials and

    electronics.
     It is more comfortable to read than conventional

    display.
     A wider viewing angle.
     It can read directly from sunlight without fading

    images.
     Lightweight and durable.
     Low power consumption.
     It has two different parts.
    ◦ Front plane.
    ◦ Back plane.
     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 E-ink developed in 1974s by “Nick

    Sheridon” at Xerox.
     It based on a thin sheet of flexible plastic containing a

    layer of tiny plastic beads each encapsulated in oil and


    it rotate freely.
     Each hemisphere of a bead has different colour and

    different electric charge.


     Electric field is applied the beads are rotate, creat two-

    coloured pattern.
     This method have some limitations.
    1. Low brightness and resolution.
    2. Lack of color.
    Other form of E-ink with improve propertys
    compared to Gyricon is Electrophorestic.
    Electrophorestic
     Electrophorestic frontplane consist of millions of
    micro capsules.
     Each approximately 100 microns in dia.
     Each micro capsule is filled with a clear fluid
    containing positivaly charged white particle and
    black particle.
      How Electronic Ink Works:- Basically, this form of
    e-paper is created by sandwiching millions of tiny
    plastic wells between two sheets of flexible plastic.
     Each well contains both white and black particles,

    suspended within a clear fluid.


     The key to this technology is that the white and

    black particles have opposite charges, so when an


    electric voltage is applied to individual wells --
    through circuitry embedded underneath -- the
    black and white particles can be separated to
    opposite sides.
     In this way, the face-up side of each well can be
    set to appear either as black or white as seen
    through the top layer of clear plastic.
     Each well functions as a separate pixel on the E

    ink display..
     The disadvantage of this technology is it take

    time for the particle to move from one side to


    another.
     Drawing a new text or image is too slow and creat
    a flicker.
     Ultra-thin and flexible energy cell.
     Eliminates the cost of the battery,weight and

    volume of the battery holder.


     Can be made into almost any shape.
     Can be integrated on almost any surface.
     Low cost and simple to produce, using printing
    process.
     Environmentally friendly, non-caustic, no

    possibility of explosion, burns, or overheating.

     The E-Paper is a Flexible display.
     It is easy to use.
     E-Paper can communicate Satellite or other
    computers easily.

    Researches found that in
    just few years this technology
    can replace paper in many situations, leading
    us to think of a truly paperless world.
