Also known as electronic ink or e-ink display, e-paper looks like ink on paper. Digital ink means the text can still be read without an electric current. So even though it looks like paper, it is in fact an electronic display.

Among its other applications, the e-Paper display can be found in e-readers. The digital way of reading books. This technology was designed so that the display would mimic the appearance of ink on paper. Reading is less of a strain on the eyes than with conventional displays because e-paper does not emit light.
The e-paper displays by ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY (EA) offer very high levels of contrast. They can be read in sunlight, even without additional lighting.
E-paper displays operate without power. Only when the content segment changes is a brief burst of energy required. That means these displays are so energy efficient, they can run for a long time on batteries.
The technology works by using conductive plastic. The screen is filled with small capsules containing fluid and minuscule black and white particles that have a positive (white) or negative (black) charge. If a positive charge is applied to the top of a capsule, the black particles move up and the white balls are pushed down. By applying different charges to the many capsules in the screen, you can display characters. When the charge is switched off, the black and white particles stay where they are.
E-paper displays are used for long-lasting displays that retain the capability of being changed. They can be used as price labels (e-labels) at hospitality wholesale companies and large retail chains.
These displays are also perfect for use in restaurants, where they can indicate table numbers or function as “reserved” signs. They can also be used as personal name badges at trade fairs.
