Conventional backlit flat displays work with the principle of emitting light. E-paper or electronic paper (also called EPD: Electronic Paper Display) are display devices that reflect light just like ink on paper. Just like ordinary paper, the characters on an e-paper are visible even in direct sunlight. E-papers are perfect displays since the image remains fixed even after the power is switched off, thus consuming extremely low energy. In this short article we will be looking at the history, operating principles, advantages and disadvantages, and the future of e-paper displays.

E-Paper Clock: This project is an e-Paper clock and weather station that automatically sets itself (via GPS) and can be built to last about 6 months on 4 AAA batteries. It purposefully does not need any network connections for the sake of security and reliability.…
(Phys.org) —Researchers from Intel, the University of Massachusetts and the University of Washington have teamed up to build an e-paper display that can be powered by the Near Field Communication (NFC) signal from a smartphone. Called a wirelessly bistable display tag, the device works by harvesting more energy from the NFC transaction than it consumes in converting the data it receives into an image on the display. The resulting device has been dubbed the NFC-WISP E-Ink Display Tag.
The reMarkable Paper Tablet combines the tactile feel (and noise) of pen-on-paper with the efficiency of a tablet. The screen, like a Kindle, is a non-backlit, no-glare, daylight display. While you work—or take notes—the tablet+stylus system is transcribing your handwriting into typed texts you can access & use anywhere. Designed to minimize distractions, it is
A very cool-looking weather station using the ESP8266 WiFi module chip and a high resolution 7.4″ a-Si TFT active matrix Electronic Paper Display (EPD) module from Pervasive Displays shared by andrei7c4. The weather data are gathered from OpenWeatherMap service. Most of the time the device stays in deep sleep mode consuming only 18 µA. While updating the weather power consumption varies from 80 to 150 mA. Update operation takes a few seconds, depending on WiFi router, DHCP server and internet connection speed. With 30 minute update interval 3000 mAh battery should last for a few months on one charge.
