ELECTRONIC NEWSPAPER (E-PAPER)
An electronic newspaper is a self-contained, reusable, and refreshable version of a traditional newspaper that acquires and holds information electronically. The electronic newspaper should not be confused with newspapers that offer an online version at a Web site. Information to be displayed will be downloaded through a wireless Internet connection.
Electronic paper, or e-paper, is a technology that allows the text on a piece of paper to be re-written. The "paper" is actually made of organic electronics that use conductive plastic, which contains tiny balls that respond to an electric charge, changing the page in much the same way that pixels change on a computer monitor.
It was developed in order to overcome some of the limitations of computer monitors. For example, the backlighting of monitors is hard on the human eye, whereas electronic paper reflects light just like normal paper. It is easier to read at an angle than flat screen monitors. Because it is made of plastic, electronic paper has the potential to be flexible. It is light and potentially inexpensive.
The aim of E-paper is to show electronic text on thin, flexible sheets that look and feel like paper. It would be put together in the form of a book or newspaper, with electronic pages downloaded using wireless technology.
