Samsung Color Electronic Paper

Samsung Electronics and Unidym have demonstrated the world's first prototype of an electronic paper with an active matrix type EPD (electrophoretic display) on carbon nanotubes. The revolutionary color electronic paper worked on a display with a diagonal of 14.3 inches, that is, approximately A4 size.







Actually, a transparent film of nanotubes ( this unique material is the main innovation) was made by Unidym, and Samsung did the rest. This is not the first example of cooperation between the two companies. Earlier, Samsung manufactured a similar EPD device with a 2.3-inch black and white screen. As you can see, there is progress.



The film of nanotubes has an extremely low power consumption and high contrast. If you look at it under an electron microscope, you can see that it is extremely porous and consists of several layers. Film thickness 50 nm.

Nanotubes have better electrical conductivity than copper, while they are stronger than steel. In microelectronics, nanotubes in some cases have advantages over conventional silicon crystals.
