Possessing a paper-like contrast appearance, ultra-low power consumption and a thin light form, the Electronic Paper Display or EPD provides viewers the experience of reading from paper while having the power of updatable information. It is a technology that is enabled by electronic ink which carries a charge that enables it to be updated through electronics. This ink is especially suited for EPDs since it is reflective and requires no front or backlight. It is also viewable under a wide range of lighting conditions including direct sunlight while requiring no power to maintain an image.

Electronic Paper Displays are used for various consumer and industrial applications where the most important considerations are the reading experience and the range of lighting and viewing angles.
