Research to develop an interactive, low-cost electronic display screen as
thin as paper, that will revolution ize the multi-million pound display screen
market, has been awarded funding support.
This research builds on the Paisley
University's collaborative work with DuPont-Teijin Films; which is a
three-year, 690,000 pounds project that will see the university's research
used to provide a key component necessary for the next generation of screens.
Electronic
paper is one form of reusable flat-panel display technology that exhibits some
or all of the characteristics of paper and ink. Embedded in a thin sheet of
plastic are thousands of spherical particles, each of which is half-black and
half-white.
The spheres are charged, so that by applying a voltage, either the
white or the black side appears on the sheet's visible surface at that spot.
By pixellating the 'page', the black and white specks can be arranged to
make words and images that look like those printed with ink on paper.
