Electronic paper goes organic

Carbon-based electronics could put e-paper on the presses.

Electronic paper looks set to start rolling off the presses soon, thanks to a new process developed at the electronics company Philips1.

The Philips researchers, based at Eindhoven in the Netherlands, have figured out how to make thin, flexible sheets of electronic paper using inexpensive and light-weight organic materials that don't demand the costly production methods used for conventional silicon microelectronics.
