Figure 1: The make-up of an e-paper display By Alchin Wang, General Manager Once you’ve read a document on electronic paper (e-paper), you’ll never want to go back to traditional liquid crystal (LCD), light-emitting diode (LED) or organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. The only problem is that e-paper has still not reached the level of […]
Low-power e-paper displays provide the perfect solution for slow-changing data
Most information is time-dependent in some way. Last week’s shopping list is largely useless a week later but knowing the time and location of tomorrow’s appointments is critical today.
