Electrophoretic displays started 25 years ago as the ideal display for reading books. In the mean-time the technology has advanced significantly, showing faster refresh rate, full-color and note taking capabilities, while keeping the ultra-low power and paper-like viewing experience. This has not only enabled tremendous growth in the eReader space, but also opened up new markets in retail, transportation, hospital care, automotive and many other segments. With this, the vision of Smart and Green surfaces everywhere is becoming a reality.
