E-paper Technology and Its Global Impact

Here's a video on YouTube that captures all that's interesting and good to know about e-paper technology and how it has/will impact the world at a global scale. Granted that the vid plays quite fast to really absorb everything and that the screen quality isn't really great (need an extra 30% squinting to barely see the text), it's actually quite a good introduction to know about the e-paper, the technology that helps grow the e-readers into what they are today.

Just a quick re-cap of what e-paper is:

E-paper is a display screen that reads like a paper. Consist of two technologies:

  • Electrophoretic/Electrochromic Display Technology
  • Organic Light-Emiting Diode (OLED)
This technology allows text to hold on screen without using power and backlight.
