E-Ink – A Revolution in Information Technology

With a world full of electronic displays made with liquid crystals, light-emitting diodes and gas plasma, you probably don’t think of paper as being a revolutionary display technology, but the Chinese invention of paper in 105 A. D. forever changed the way the world communicates. Without it, books might still be printed on silk rolls, making literacy an expensive skill. It would be nearly impossible to live one day without coming into contact with paper in some form. This year, for example, the world will consume an estimated 280 million tons of paper.

For nearly 2,000 years, ink on paper was the only way to display words and images, and it still beats computer displays when it comes to portability and price. Paper also doesn’t require an external power supply. Yet it does have some limitations: once printed on paper, words cannot be changed without at least leaving some marks, and it is also difficult to carry around a large number of books.

Scientists are developing a revolutionary technology that could replace, called electronic ink. It will allow you to carry a whole library in one book. E-link technology aims at creating a digital book that can type-set itself and that readers could leaf through just as if it were made of regular paper. Such a book could be programmed to alternate between up to 10 books stored on the device. Just as electronic ink could radically change the way we read books, it could change the way you receive your daily newspaper. Simply pressing a button on the delivery computer will simultaneously update thousands of electronic newspapers each morning.

E-Ink has several advantages over current display technology, including: low power usage, flexibility and readability. Electronic ink uses 50 to 100 times less power than liquid crystal displays because it only needs power when changing the display. E-link can be printed on any surface, including walls, product labels and T-shirts. You will soon be able to change your digital wallpaper by sending a signal to the electronic ink painted on the walls. Another advantage electronic ink has over traditional computer displays is its readability. It looks more like printed text, so it’s a lot easier on the eyes. And it saves trees by cutting the demand on paper!
