Electronic paper and e-paper, also sometimes electronic ink, or electrophoretic displays or e-ink, are display devices that mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper.[1] ("E-Ink" is typically used to refer to our "E Ink" trademark, as opposed to a generic reference to electronic paper generally.)
Technologies[edit]
Microencapsulated electrophoretic display[edit]
Disadvantages[edit]
. . . .
E Ink Corporation of E Ink Holdings Inc. released the first colored electronic ink
e-ink displays to be used in a marketed product. The Ectaco Jetbook Color was released in 2012 as the first colored electronic ink e-ink e-reader, which used E Ink's Triton display technology.[2][3] E Ink in early 2015 also announced another color electronic ink e-ink technology called Prism.[4] This new technology is a color changing film that can be used for e-reader, but Prism is also marketed as a film that can be integrated into architectural design such as "wall, ceiling panel, or entire room instantly."[5] The disadvantage of these current color displays is that they are considerably more expensive than standard electronic ink E Ink displays.

Applications[edit]
Wristwatches[edit]
In December 2005, Seiko released the first electronic ink based watch called the Spectrum SVRD001 wristwatch, which has a flexible electrophoretic display[6] and in March 2010 Seiko released a second generation of this famous electronic ink e-ink watch with an active matrix display.[7] (The cited source (a press release) correctly states "Electronic Ink" as opposed to referring to our trademark "E Ink" as the watch does not use our technology)
Mobile phones[edit]
. . . . On December 12, 2012, Yota Devices announced the first "YotaPhone" prototype and was later released in December 2013, a unique double-display smartphone. It has a 4.3-inch, HD LCD on the front and an or e-ink, electronic paper display on the back . . . .
