Electronic paper technology has found its main application in the development of
e-book readers, a market that has bloomed in recent years with successful devices such as
the Amazon Kindle and the Barns & Noble Nook. The market for e-paper displays will reach
over $8.5 Billion by 2022, as forecasted by IDTechEx.
What the future holds for e-readers remains to be seen. New technologies and devices
are being developed/ launched and there is stiff competition from similar devices such as
tablet computers that can offer consumers alternatives with added functionality. This
highlights the need for new markets to be identified, in order for electronic paper
devices to continue enjoying the growth witnessed in the years since their initial launch.
The commercial success of the Amazon Kindle e-reader and the lesser yet still quite
substantial uptake of e-book readers such as the iRex iLIad or the SONY PRS family have
sparked up a large interest in e-paper display technologies.
E-paper displays mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper. Unlike conventional
flat panel displays, it doesn't require a backlight to illuminate its pixels as it
reflects light like paper does and can hold text and images indefinitely without drawing
power. Usually, most versions can also be flexible, thinner and more robust than other
display technologies.
