Xerox announced that it has chosen 3M as a manufacturer to bring its e-paper to market. This is a digital document display electronic paper that has the characteristics of ordinary paper for portability.
E-paper represents a new display technology that lies between papers that have been in existence for hundreds of years and ordinary computer display screens. It is as thin, light, soft and comfortable as paper. It is also like a computer can be displayed dynamically, and can be rewritten. The combination of these features gives it potential and broad application prospects, including:
- Electronic paper newspapers that provide news, sports scores, latest stock prices, and even when reading.
- E-paper magazine, providing the latest information and animated images and motion pictures to make the story more lively.
- Electronic paper textbooks that combine many books into a single book, allowing students to read, scan, and mark as ordinary books.
- Electronic paper display boards, like electronic blackboards hanging on strong, electronic billboards, folding electronic display boards.
The technology supported by Xerox patents has already demonstrated its prototype within the limited scope of PARC. Xerox has partnered with 3M to produce electronic paper materials in quantities required by the market - basically future pulp, and supports extensive commercial application development.
According to Xerox, the invention will increase the impact of its document processing program, blurring the boundaries between the digital and paper worlds. Xerox's leading technology combined with 3M's extensive manufacturing experience enables the establishment of market-leading technologies. 3M is also looking forward to creating e-paper with its own proprietary manufacturing technology and establishing new milestones.
The two companies did not publish a timetable for the introduction of e-paper products to the market. From laboratory research to obtaining a production license is the first step for e-paper to enter the commercial market. (Great Wall compiled phone)
