Electronic paper is an ultra-thin, ultra-light display. Its display effect is like ordinary paper, with the characteristics of comfortable reading, low power consumption, foldable and curved.Electronic paper controls the moving distance of the electronic capsule in the circuit through changes in the applied electric field, thereby transforming text and image.The basic principle is that charged nanoparticles suspended in a liquid migrate due to the action of an electric field. Electronic ink is coated on a layer of plastic film, then coated with a thin film transistor (TFT) circuit, and controlled by the driver IC to form a pixel pattern. Create an electronic paper display screen.Electronic paper is widely used in reading and writing, mobile wear, electronic shelf labels, electronic billboards, architecture and design and other fields.Driven by the joint promotion of commercial and consumer markets, the e-paper market has shown a rapid growth trend.

The functions of electronic paper mainly include the following aspects:
1. Display effect
2. Low power consumption: The power consumption of electronic paper is much lower than that of traditional LCD screens. It can read under natural light without a backlight and is suitable for long-term use.
3. Flexible and light and thin
4. Memory ability: Electronic paper can still maintain its original picture after power loss and has certain memory ability.
5. Environmental protection

There are mainly the following application scenarios for electronic paper:
1. Reader
2. Advertising and promotion: Used for billboards, billboards, etc., it can update content remotely, saving labor and material costs.
3. Smart home
4. Labels and logos: Used for mall labels, road banners, etc., and can clearly display under various lighting conditions.

In recent years, with the continuous maturity of technology and the reduction of costs, the demand in the e-paper market has continued to increase.The size of the global e-paper market continues to grow and is expected to reach US$14.9 billion by 2025.China's e-paper market is also expanding, and the market size is expected to reach 4.5 billion yuan by 2025.At present, the main development direction of electronic paper is from monochrome to color, from static to dynamic, from flat to flexible, and from single function to multi-function.Electronic paper is a display technology with great potential and prospects. Due to its unique energy-saving and environmental protection characteristics, it is regarded as a model of future green technology. Electronic paper technology has had a profound impact on the future development of green technology through its low-carbon and environmentally friendly characteristics, wide application scenarios, significant economic benefits and continuously optimized technical performance.
