What is Electronic Paper (ePaper)?

Electronic paper, also called e-paper or electronic ink display is a display technology designed to mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper. Unlike a conventional flat panel display, which uses a backlight to illuminate its pixels, electronic paper reflects light like ordinary paper and is capable of holding text and images indefinitely without drawing electricity, while allowing the image to be changed later. Many different technologies exist, some allowing even flexible displays to be built.

While many different applications exist, it’s properties make it especially interesting for use in electronic book (ebook) readers. Sony, Amazon and other key ebook manufacturers chose electronic paper as the display technology.
