Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have developed a new kind of display technology that could result in a low cost and disposable ebook readers. According to DNA, UC researcher Andrew Steckl has developed a display format that could lead to electrowetting (EW) technology being used on paper instead of glass. EW technology is based on the application of an electric field to coloured droplets within a display used to project text, video and images. The study crucially found that the electrowetting process was just as efficient on a paper screen as it was on conventionally used glass screen.
