Post c) What will e-paper bring us?







E-paper has wide application fields.

E-paper can be used in advertising industry, for example, the billboard system. We can find billboard advertisement almost everywhere on the road side. However, to make the traditional billboard advertisement requires a certain amount of investment, also it takes some time to be produced and installed.
While with e-paper billboard system, the investment of printing and installation of the billboard will be reduced to zero.

Another application of e-paper could be on e-book readers. The e-book reader can be used to replace traditional books. With the help of e-book reader, a user can carry as many books as a library with him or her, and read the book anytime anywhere he/she want.

E-paper may lead to a weave of revolution in traditional publish industry. For example, some news paper publisher has already introduced e-paper newspaper. Also, some book publisher announced their e-paper book projects.

In conclusion, e-paper has a wide range of potential application.
