 Introduction

 E-Paper is also called Electronic Paper or Electronic ink

Display.

 A flexible display is a display which is flexible in nature.

 It is a display unit.

 E-Paper is flexible.

 E-Paper have a wide viewing angle.

 A digital pan is also used to create handwritten document.

 E-Paper phone is made by e-paper and user is allowed to

bend body of phone causes it is flexible.

 History

 Developed in the 1970’s by Nick Sheridan at xerox’s Palo alto

research centre.

 The first electronic paper was called gyricon.

 1990’s Joseph Jacobsen created was created another version

of E-Paper.

 Random example:

 USB flash drive with E ink-implemented.

 Capacity meter of available Flash memory.

4
 Objective
 To understand the electronic Flexible display.

 To reduce the breaking of glass of mobile phones.

 To reduce the extra weight in your pocket for

carrying Smartphone's.

5
 Construction
 It has two different parts:-
Front plane
back plane

 The front plane consist of E-

ink.

 The back plane consist of

electronic circuit.

 To from an E-ink electronic

display the ink is printed onto a
plastic film that is laminated to
a layer of circuitry.

6
 Working
 Black particle move to top
of microcapsule and white
particle move to bottom of
microcapsule where they
become visible, making the
pixel.

 To increase the resolution of

image each microcapsule can
be controlled by more than
one electrode on each side,
allowing it to appear half black
and half white.

7
 Functionality
 The new paper is made of two layers: the e-ink
display and a flexible printed circuit with bend
sensors.

 Flexible printed circuit with resistive bend

circuits, which are used to identify the bending of
the display screen.

 The user actually chooses the function by

bending the PCB(printed circuit board).

 For example: you can choose to bend the upper-

right corner to make a call, or bend the lower left
to listen to music.

What makes flexible electronic
display attractive?
 Light weight.

 Very thin.

The ability to curve,flex,roll,fold.

 Portability.

 Low power.

 Non-breakable.

 Future of E-paper

 Improve hardware that can refresh

page quickly.

 More advanced wireless

capabilities.

 E paper reader may soon replace

the present newspaper and books.

 Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages Disadvantages

 Lower cost in the future.  UV sensitivity.

 Light weight & flexible  Less lifetime.

plastic.
 Expensive Manufacturing.
 Winder viewing angles &
improved brightness.  Susceptible to water.

 Better power efficiency.

13
 Applications
 E-Book reader
eg: Amazon kindle.

 Electronic Shelf Label

In a large department store or supermarket, e-
paper used for labelling the shelves and price tagging.

 Smart Card Display

Some credit cards contain a smart card to
store information such as accumulated credit and
money expenses etc.

 Mobile phones.
 E-Newspaper.
Time Table at Stations.
14
 Conclusion

 Smart phone with a functional flexible

electronic display and integrated bend
sensors.

 Small, Compatible and low power

consumption.

 Paper Phone uses the glare-free screen

technology & feels a little more like paper.
