E-Ink E-Ink was created at MIT and allows text to be dynamically
generated on thin media
Microcapsules
Small blue fluid filled capsules filled with pigment chips
Pigment chip
Small positively charged chips that when drawn to the surface of a microcapsule make it appear white
By selectively applying a negative charge to microcapsules, text can be created
In the future E-Ink will be applied to any surface providing paper thin electronic text
