Unlike standard flat panel displays emitting light, electronic paper reflects the same way traditional paper does.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It consists of an electrophoric image with thousands of light and dark nanoparticles trapped between two plates of electrostatically charged glass. The exact application of the stream to the screen attracts or deters the nanoparticles to create a viewable image.<\/p>\n<p>Electronic paper has been used for electronic boards in shops, digital ads, schedules on stations and cell phone screens for years. Thanks to the arrival of the e-reader, we only became more aware of in recent times. With e-ink e-book readers can display digital versions of books and magazines and is an integral part of readers such as\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Amazon Kindle,Barnes &amp; Noble Nook, Sony Reader, and Kobo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>E-ink is ideal for reading when a slow refresh rate is not important. It&#8217;s easier to read due to the fact that it has the appearance of normal paper and doesn&#8217;t emit rays like a screen and also has a wider reading angle. The perfect e-ink device can be read in direct sunlight without fading or any reflection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">[SOURCE: www.howtogeek.com &amp; www.wikipedia.org]<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><!--:af--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/it\/files\/2013\/11\/Kobo_ereader_touch_black_front-300x224.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" align=\"right\" \/>Met die verskyning van e-boeke, is mense blootgestel aan `n w\u00eareld van nuwe tegnologie\u00eb. \u00a0Een hiervan is e-ink.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vir diegene wat glo die enigste ink is die tipe wat in jou hempsak uitloop, hier is `n kort verduideliking van die elektroniese eweknie.<\/p>\n<p>Elektroniese ink, e-ink, \u00a0elektroniese papier of e-papier\u00a0is skermtegnologie\u00eb ontwikkel om die voorkoms van gewone ink op papier na te maak.
