Electronic paper

E-books, is a traditional paper book alternatives. Require the use of additional digital equipment to read, such as personal computers, electronic dictionaries and other.

Before about 2000, China Eastern Han, Cai Lun improved papermaking, then turn the world upside down world civilization produced change, Chinese civilization which had a world leader in 1000 years. Today, electronic paper technology will bring to people's life a kind of change?

Electronic paper technology actually is a kind of technology collectively, the display effect is close to the nature paper, from reading fatigue.

In general, can achieve like paper, ultra-thin light reading comfortable, flexible, ultra low power consumption display technology called electronic paper technology; and the electronic paper is such a paper-like electronic display, the advantages of both paper ( such as visual sense almost completely and paper etc.), also can be like our common liquid crystal display continuously converting refresh the display, and liquid crystal display power saving more than. Electronic paper display has been stuck in the minds of fantasy, but with the end of last century. The technical aspects of a series of breakthrough, revolutionary electronic paper display technology finally begin to move toward the general public towards utility.

Editor this paragraph of electronic paper technology approach

The realization of electronic paper technology way mainly comprises a cholesteric liquid crystal display technology, electrophoretic display technology ( EPD ) and display technology.

The electrophoretic display technology for the most promising approach. This technique the earliest American E Ink by the master, but in fact many international giants of this technology has contributed, including Xerox, Lucent, Philips, epson. At present, more to mature grasp of the technology companies including American E Ink company, SiPix company, Guangzhou Olympic and technology companies, as well as Epson, Bridgestone. The company has its own core patented technology; current Guangzhou Ao Yi technology companies also positively the electronic paper technology is pushed to the market. Development of electronic paper research on domestic institutions including Zhongshan University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Zhejiang University, Tsinghua University.

Editor this paragraph uses

The use of electronic paper is quite wide, the first generation of products used to replace conventional display device, the second generation of products including mobile communications and PDA handheld display, plans to develop the next generation of the product positioning in the thin type display, and printing industry pertaining to the application domain, for example, the portable electronic book, electronic newspapers and IC card, and can provide the traditional books similar to the reading function and using attributes. For a long time, the paper has been used as the information medium of exchange, but the graphic content once printed on paper and then cannot change, become the ink / paper copy process is the biggest drawback, can not meet the modern social information fast update for the replication process requirements. Therefore, the development of dynamic change of high resolution display technology become the people chasing the target, requirement that material is thin, bendable, surface structure and paper similar, thus has the potential to become a new generation of paper.
