Electronic Ink Promises To Save A Tree
“E Ink’s displays feature a layer of electrophoretic liquid sandwiched between a pair of flexible electrodes. Millions of microcapsules, containing a mixture of dye and pigment, are suspended in the liquid. Driven by a thin-film transistor (TFT) array, the light or dark appearance of each pixel can be switched by altering the polarity of the electrode. Electronic paper gets high resolution.
