E-paper was developed in 1974 by Nicholas Sheridon at Xerox PARC. It is an electronic display that reflects light like ordinary paper and can hold text and images. E-paper is flexible, has a wide viewing angle, and is more comfortable to read than conventional displays. It has a front plane with e-ink and a back plane with electronic circuits. E-paper has advantages like low power consumption, paper-like readability, and portability. Some disadvantages are slow switching speeds and response to temperature/humidity changes. E-paper has applications in electronic books, newspapers, mobile displays, and computer monitors.

2. INTRODUCTION
 The first E – paper is developed in 1974’s by
Nicholas k Sheridon at Xerox’s Palo Alto
Research Centre.
 E – Paper is also called Electronic Paper or
Electronic Ink Display.
 It is a display unit.
 E – paper is flexible.
 E - paper have a wide viewing angle.

3. WHAT IS E – PAPER ?
 E – Paper is an electronic ink display unit.
 It reflect light like ordinary paper.
 It is capable of holding text and images.
 It is more comfortable to read than
conventional display.
 A wider viewing angle.
 Light weight and durable.
 Low power consumption.

4. CONSTRUCTION OF E - PAPER
 It has two different parts. They are:
Front plane.
Back plane.
 The front plane consist of E – ink.
 The back plane consist of electonic circuits.
