Abstract

The emergence of digital technology has transformed the way we consume and interact with media, with one of the most significant innovations being the development of e-ink displays. These displays replicate the appearance of ink on paper, providing a low-power, high-contrast alternative to traditional backlit LCD screens. As a result of their advantages such as easy readability, low power consumption, and customization options, e-ink displays have gained widespread adoption in a range of devices such as e-readers, smartwatches, public signage, and transportation timetables. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of e-ink displays by examining their history, technology, current applications, advantages, and limitations. Additionally, the paper discusses the environmental and cost benefits of e-ink displays in contrast to traditional print media. The role e-ink displays can play in reducing paper waste and carbon emissions is emphasized. By exploring the unique features and benefits of e-ink displays, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of this important technology and its impact on the digital landscape.
