This document discusses electronic paper (e-paper) technologies, including gyricon, electrophoretic displays, electrowetting, and electrofluidic displays. It notes that e-paper was developed in the 1970s and aims to mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper. The technologies are described and their applications mentioned. Advantages of e-paper include low power consumption, readability, retention of the displayed image without power, and being lightweight. The document concludes that e-paper may replace paper in many uses like books, newspapers and monitors in the near future.

3.  Electronic paper was first developed in the 1970s by Nicholas K Sheridon at
Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center.
 Electronic paper, also called e-paper, is a display technology designed to mimic
the appearance of ordinary ink on paper.
 E-paper have a wide viewing angle
 It is a display unit
 E-paper is flexible
 A digital pen is also used to create handwritten document.

4.  Gyricon The first electronic paper, called Gyricon. It is based on a thin sheet
of flexible plastic containing a layer of tiny plastic beads each encapsulated
in oil and it rotate freely
 Electrophoretic display Electrophoretic front plane consist of millions of
micro capsules. Each micro capsule is filled with a clear fluid containing
positively charged white particle and black particle.
 Electrowetting It is used to display coloured images.It is low-power and
low-voltage technology and displays based on the effects can be made flat
and thin
 Electrofluidic display Electrofluidic displays are a variation of an
electrowetting display. Electrofluidic displays place an aqueous pigment
dispersion inside a tiny reservoir.

6.  Low power consumption because no light emitting device is used.
 E-paper is often considered to be more comfortable to read than
conventional displays.
 Information can be displayed unchanged over a long period of time.
 Reduce eyestrain.
 Light weight and thin
 More convenient
 Multimedia information
 Reusable technology

7.  Education: Digital school books
 Wristwatches
 E-books
 News paper
 Computer monitor
 Status display

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