❓ What is E-Paper?
E-Paper (Electronic Paper) is a display technology designed to mimic traditional paper and ink 📰. It provides high contrast and readability in various lighting conditions, including direct sunlight ☀️, without requiring a backlight. E-paper uses microcapsules with charged particles to create stable images that remain visible without continuous power. Common applications include e-readers, electronic shelf labels, smartwatches, and IoT devices.
💡 Advantages Over Traditional Displays
- Paper-like readability 📖 and visibility in sunlight ☀️
- Consumes power only during updates ⚡
