Chae says that Gartner believes that the cost of e-paper
displays will need to fall further if it is to act as a viable
mainstream alternative to print media, “especially as the falling costs
and increasing quality of alternative technologies – such as OLED and
LCD – could moderate the growth potential of e-paper.”• Electrophoretic e-paper, where the image is generated by an array of electrically charged particles suspended in fluid. When current is applied, the particles are moved to the opposite electrode side. Switch the field, and the particles will move to the other side, and this will change the colour and finally change the images. Electrophoretic technology from E Ink is currently used in commercial devices such as the Amazon Kindle, Sony Librie reader and Plastic Logic's e-newspaper
• Electronic Liquid Powder (ELP) from Bridgestone, which uses a similar electrophoretic approach to E Ink's e-paper, but with the ELP particles suspended in air instead of fluid.
• Cholesteric LCD, an LCD variant, such as the technology from Kent Displays that is used in Fujitsu’s new e-book reader FLEPia, using multiple layers of different colour LCD crystals to generate the image.
