We provide an overview of the technical trends in E Ink Electronic Paper Technology through recent and development and commercialization activities. The initial product launched in Japan in 2004 was for Electronic Publishing applications, but since then, large-format public signage, watch/clock applications and other novel applications have appeared and Electronic Publishing applications are spreading to Chinese, European and U.S. markets. On the technology side, advances in response time and the development of Color E Ink displays make it a prime candidate for the reflective display of choice in the era of ubiquitous computing.
