What does E-paper replace ?


If the building and making of e-paper is rather complex, companies will still gain in making it because of all the applications and general use this new technology will bring to our world.


If you have seen my video you will remember that the journalist referred to e-paper as "Harry Potter paper". This will bring us to our first use of e-paper; Electronic journals. That's right, people will no longer have to buy a 100 pages long newspapers, because e-ink paper as the capability to change its display whenever needed.... Just like in the Harry Potter movies ;)


Other applications are quite numerous; price tags on the shelves of retail stores, electronic billboards on the streets of Montreal and many other beautiful cities, Commercials on buses and we are even talking about phones and e-pad displaying full versions of books...


Do you see now why this new information technology is so promising ? I bet all the "green" people in this world will love it !!
