INTRODUCTIO and it is a display unit
N • It is extreamly light and flexible
• E-paper displays reflect light like ordinary
paper and it is more comfortable to read.
• It is used to create a hand written
What is E-Paper?
• E-Paper is a 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.
Construction of E-Paper
• It has two different parts
• i)front plane
• ii) back plane
• Front plane consists of E-ink
• To form an E-ink electronic display the ink is printed on to a plastic film that
is laminated to the layer.
• It is made up of millions of tiny micro capsules.
• Microcapsules have diameter of 100 microns.
• Back plane consists of electronic circuits.

WORKING
• The first Gyricon E-ink developed in 1974s by “Nick Sheridon at Xerox.
• It is based on a thin sheet of flexible plastic containing layer of tiny
plastic beads each encapsulated in oil and it rotate freely .
• Each hemisphere of a bead has a different color and different electric
charge .
• Electric field is applied the beads are rotate, create two colored
pattern .
Merits of E- Paper
• Low power consumption
• Light weight and low cost
• Highly flexible
• Batteries can be smaller and last longer
• Paper like readability
• It is twisted or bended into different curvatures
• Display module is thinner.
Demerits of E- Paper
• Slow response to change
• Very low switching speed
• Complexity is high
• Problems in extreme temperature, humidity
• Too slow for video
Applications
• Electronic book
• Electronic news paper
• Mobile display
• Computer monitor
Future scope
E- paper can communicate
satellite or other computers
easily
conclusion

• Researchers found that in few years this technology can replace paper in
many situations and leading us to think of a truly paper less world
