Electronic paper and e-paper, also sometimes electronic ink, or electrophoretic displays or e-ink,are display devices that mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper. ("E-Ink" is typically used to refer to our "E Ink" trademark, as opposed to a generic reference to electronic paper generally.)

Disadvantages


. . . . E Ink Corporation of E Ink Holdings Inc. released the first colored electronic ink e-ink displays to be used in a marketed product. The Ectaco Jetbook Color was released in 2012 as the first colored electronic ink e-ink e-reader, which used E Ink's Triton display technology. E Ink in early 2015 also announced another color electronic ink e-ink technology called Prism. This new technology is a color changing film that can be used for e-reader, but Prism is also marketed as a film that can be integrated into architectural design such as "wall, ceiling panel, or entire room instantly." The disadvantage of these current color displays is that they are considerably more expensive than standard electronic ink E Ink displays.

Wristwatches
In December 2005, Seiko released the first electronic ink based watch called the Spectrum SVRD001 wristwatch, which has a flexible electrophoretic display and in March 2010 Seiko released a second generation of this famous electronic ink e-ink watch with an active matrix display. (The cited source (a press release) correctly states "Electronic Ink" as opposed to referring to our trademark "E Ink" as the watch does not use our technology)

Mobile phones
. . . . On December 12, 2012, Yota Devices announced the first "YotaPhone" prototype and was later released in December 2013, a unique double-display smartphone. It has a 4.3-inch, HD LCD on the front and an or e-ink, electronic paper display on the back. . ..
