The ultimate incarnation of electronic paper would be built on
a flexible substrate with control and wireless communications
integrated. By allowing people to exploit the compelling
qualities of paper while vastly extending its utility through
seamless updates and interactivity with the network, this
technology would revolutionize the way information is
exchanged and viewed worldwide. E Ink seeks to make this
vision a reality using an electrophoretic display material
first invented at the MIT Media Lab. The material is a thinly
coated layer on a plastic film, which may be laminated to a
variety of electronicly active substrates to form
displays. The ink film is very high contrast and requires no
power to hold an established image.
Since 1998, the part I have played in this effort is to
integrate the electronic ink material with electronics and
systems. The interface between the materials and the systems
it is used in is an exciting area for innovation. I work
intimately with scientists and engineers developing material
on one side, and customers or partners who want to build
devices base on our technology on the other side. My work has
involved circuit design, advanced packaging, board layout and
construction, industrial design, integration with customer
systems, VHDL, interface design, various communications
technologies, custom IC specification, to name a few.
