Imagine a day where you can plug your newspaper into your PC and download the news to the paper and read it as you would normaly?
Imagine a book for kids containing illustrations, where kids can click a button to watch a video illustration on the paper?


E-ink is not fiction, it is reality! Already there are some in production since 1996 but still not that advanced!
Electronic ink or E-ink for short is a display technology designed to mimic the appearance of regular ink or paper! Imagine having a video display having the width of a paper! You can hold, twise and flip the paper as you wish while you are watching the video :)
E-ink first started with a monochrome display (black and white) and now there are color E-ink displays.
Unlike regular displays (such as TVs and computer screens), E-ink does not use a backlight to illuminate its pixels. It uses the ambiant light therefore it is much more better to view.
Finally, for your viewing pleasures, here is a picture of E-ink in action :)
