Eric Saxby had a great installation idea involving flexible monitor displays. It sounded really cool.
In an effort to speed him on his realisation of this project, I did some quick surfing and compiled all the e-paper / e-ink resources I could find.- Gyricon Media manufactures Smart Paper, based on a project from Xerox PARC
- Gyricon at Xerox PARC
- technology from E-Ink which was from a project at the MIT Media Lab
- Joseph Jacobson heads the Molecular Machines group at the MIT Media Lab. One of the projects there is the “Printed Displays” project:
Microencapsulated electrophoretic displays offer low power, flexibility, high contrast, bistability and flexibility for a wide range of applications including electronic books, signs, and portable hand held devices
There is a list of the publications on the Molecular Machines projects, including the “Printed Displays” category of projects, including Electronic Paper– those papers are:
- J Jacobson, B Comiskey, C Turner, J Albert, P Tsao. “The Last Book.” (1997) IBM Systems Journal 36 (3) 457-63.
- B Comiskey, JD Albert, H Yoshizawa, J Jacobson. “An Electrophoretic Ink for All-Printed Reflective Electronic Displays.” (1998) Nature 394 (6690) 253-255.
- Scientific American‘s article (where I probably should have looked first!) The Electronic Paper Chase, appearing in the November 2001 issue
