Report Title: “The electronic paper display: Printable”
Introduction to the Report: With advancements in wireless networks and cloud computing, people are increasingly surrounded by a wide array of display devices—rich in electronic gadgets such as televisions, phones, tablets, laptops, and other portable or wearable devices. These electronic products place high demands on the quality of visual interfaces. Paper-like displays are reflective and do not require a backlight. Since electrophoretic electronic paper was commercialized in 2004, it has attracted considerable attention from various quarters. Paper-like displays combine ultra-low power consumption with an exceptional reading experience. In particular, they outperform transmissive liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays in terms of outdoor readability. In this paper, we provide an overview of various display technologies—including electrophoretic displays and electrowetting displays—both of which hold significant current importance and promising future prospects. Given that electrophoretic displays have already been successfully commercialized, and electrowetting displays show great potential for transmitting video and displaying full-color images, we will focus our further research and development efforts on these two technologies.
