Review Paper: A critical review of the present and future prospects for electronic paper

Abstract

Abstract— The commercial success of monochrome electronic paper (e‐Paper) is now propelling the development of next‐generation flexible, video, and color e‐Paper products. Unlike the early battles in the 1980s and 1990s between transmissive and emissive display technologies, there is a extraordinary diversity of technologies vying to become the next generation of e‐Paper. A critical review of all major e‐Paper technologies, including a technical breakdown of the performance limitations based on device physics and commentary on possible future breakthroughs, is presented. In addition, the visual requirements for color e‐Paper are provided and compared to standards used in conventional print. It is concluded that researchers have much work remaining in order to bridge the significant gap between reflective electronic displays and print‐on‐paper.

The internal structure of poly(methyl methacrylate) latexes in nonpolar solvents

“…The significance of such dispersions can be appreciated by considering the many various industrial sectors that make use of them, which include petrochemicals [13], lubricants [7,14,15], reprography [4,5], inkjet printing [5], magnetic recording media [4], rheological fluids [16,17], and electronic displays [18][19][20][21]. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) latexes, originally developed through an industrial-academic collaboration between the University of Bristol and ICI [22,23], have proved an essential tool for colloid scientists to develop new technologies and study fundamental interactions in nonpolar media.…”

Ultraflexible organic electronics

“…Many excellent books and reviews on fl exible displays are available, [5][6][7][8][9]78 so here, we briefl y describe a few recent achievements in this area.…”

REVIEW OF PAPER-LIKE DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES (Invited Review)

“…In addition, the visual effect of the flicker can be eliminated when the flicker frequency is higher than 30 Hz. The waveform algorithm could be improved by using the principle in order to improve the visual effect [42].…”
