ePaper on the Horizon?

Posted by: Sr. Editor Lonny Paul on Sunday, April 20th, 2008

E-paper is not yet printing money, but tech firms hope its popularity may eventually mimic the real thing according to a Reuters report. With the fast growing economies of China and India, the cost of letter sized paper is increasing and eInk technology is a way to better utilize resources for the future.

Japanese companies already use electrophoretic display, or EPD, for everything from watches and mobile phones to e-readers, with limited color, lower power use and freedom from traditional paper the attractions.

Some US applications of eInk technology you may have already experienced can be found on several Adata SD Cards which show the remaining capacity on the flash drive right on the outside. No power required! Watch for more ebook products soon, from CompUSA!
