There are currently many applications being tested for e-paper, however the most influential is the e-paper reader. One major desired use of e-paper is to display print media; namely newspapers, magazines, and books, which have become the most common source of material for e-paper users today. Some experts have even made the comparison of e-paper as being this era’s printing press (taking over the traditional function of personal or corporate printers, by electronically displaying documents, consequently eliminating the usage of paper as well).
Also concerning print media is e-paper’s use in advertising, which has been tested and become a revolutionary technology in signage and billboard advertising industries.
On a smaller scale, we can also assume that in the future, e-paper displays may have the possibility of taking over the work of expiration date stamps and price stickers on store-bought products. It has been evaluated in both circumstances and has had positive results, especially where price stickers are concerned. Prices can be changed or updated with minimal effort and minimal use of resources (time).
