Colourful Flexible Rewritable ePaper Prototype Demo

What makes the “i2R e-paper” stand out is its coating — a plastic film covered with cholestric liquid crystal, a type of liquid crystal structured similarly to cholesterol molecules. The compound does not require a backlight to print, and can produce different colors. It does not require patterned electrodes — it is very light, soft and rewritable. From this perspective, this is a true e-paper.
