INTRODUCTION
 E-Paper is also called Electronic Paper or Electronic
ink Display.
 The first E-Paper was developed in 1974’s by “Nicholas
K Sheridon” at Xerox’s 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
 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.
 PROPERTIES
 High resolution (150dpi or better)

 Readable in any light conditions

 Readable at any viewing angle

 Ultra-thin and flexible energy cell

 Eliminates the cost of the battery, weight and

volume of the battery holder
WORKING
 When a voltage is applied across two plates, the
particles will migrate electrically to the plate
bearing the opposite charge from that on the
particles.

 There is a slightly negatively charged ink

between two arrays of electrodes.

 The electrodes are charged to repel the ink to the

surface, effectively turning them ON and OFF.
CONTD…
 When particles are located at the front side of
display, it appears white.

 When particles are located at rear side of the

display, it appears dark.

 The display forms visible images by

rearranging charged particles using an
applied electric filed

COMPARISON OF E-PAPER & LCD
Electronic Ink Liquid Crystal
Display Display
Wide viewing angle Best image only from one
position
Black on paper white Gray on gray

Readable in sunlight Can be difficult to see

Holds image without power Required power to hold images

drain

Plastic or glass Glass only

Light Weight Power supply and glass make

LCDs relatively heavy
Thin (~1 mm) Thick (~7 mm)
ADVANTAGES
• Paper-like Readability

• Clarity

• Reduced Eyestrain

• Include Graphics

• Inexpensive
DISADVANTAGES
o Cannot support animation

o Limited colour display

o Complexity

o Piracy

o Expensive

o Very low switching speed

APPLICATIONS
 Electronic Book
 Electronic Newspaper
 Mobile display
 Computer monitor
CONCLUSION
 When fully developed, electronic paper will distinguish
itself from other display technologies because it can
serve as a medium for communications and interaction
in addition to being solely a visualization mechanism.
