A flexible, paper-like electronic display on thin sheets of plastic (as shown in the picture below).

Feature summary:

  • extraordinary brightness and contrast under a wide range of lighting conditions
  • easy viewing from all angles
  • low power consumption as the display doesn't require power for it to continue displaying
  • its plastic film construction
The basic idea behind electronic paper is that it is a reusable display device, allowing the storage of visual content on a 'page' of plastic paper. This technology is at it's very early stages, but E Ink has expressed the desire to create the technology to allow the development of electronic devices that work like paper books -- plastic, reusable pages bound together to form a book-like device.
