E – Paper Technology :

After the LCD, Plasma and LED displays, we have reached in the era of flexible and bendable displays. It is in this display technology, you can bend the screen as your wish.
E-paper is a revolutionary material ( sometime called radio paper or just electronic ) that can be used to make electronic displays. It is portable, reusable storage and display medium, electrically writable and erasable and can be re-used 1000s of times.Electronic paper was first developed in the 1970s by Nick Sheridon at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center,called Gyricon.

A gyricon sheet is a thin piece of transparent plastic that contains millions of small beads. Each bead–half white half black–is contained in an oil-filled cavity and is free to rotate within its cavity. When voltage is applied to the surface of the sheet, the beads rotate to display either their black sides or white sides. Images of pictures and text are created when a pattern of voltages are sent to the paper. The image will remain until the voltage pattern changes.

E Ink uses electronic ink for display: a liquid plastic substance consisting of millions of tiny capsules filled with light and dark dyes that change color – charged dye particles move either up or down within the capsules – when exposed to an electric charge.The E Ink technology has been used for retail signs.Ultimately electronic ink will permit almost any surface to become a display, bringing information out of the confines of traditional devices and into the world around us.
