What is E-paper Display?

E-paper or electronic paper (Active-Matrix Electrophoretic Display) is a special type of display that does not need electricity to sustain the displayed text and image. Just like real paper, the displayed image resembles ink on paper. Unlike traditional LCD or OLED display, it does not emit light but reflects light. This characteristic makes e-paper display very comfortable to read even under direct sunlight. Unlike LCD or TFT display, e-paper also does not require a backlight.

The displays are made of millions of minuscule capsules filled with a clear fluid containing microscopic particles of different colors and electrical charges. Electrodes located above and below the capsules move up and down when a positive or negative electric field is applied, making the surface to reflect a certain color. The displays can hold static text and images for months without electricity. That is, it can retain text and images even when power is off.
