New Hub for E-Paper launched

Press release from the issuing company

San Francisco, CA,– Today, EpaperCentral.com announced it is now available to the public. EpaperCentral.com is a hub for news, analysis, information and discussion on all things relating to electronic paper. The site is also dedicated exclusively to delivering the newest, most up-to-date information about electronic paper’s nearly endless applications ranging from next generation newspapers, textbooks, signage and mobile devices, to more obscure applications such as windshield navigational displays.

E-paper stands to be a true revolution due to its impressive capabilities, many of which have previously been unavailable in other display technologies. For example, electronic paper can be viewed easily from any angle. Like traditional paper, e-paper can be read in direct sunlight and has high contrast. E-paper only consumes energy when the display is updated, making electronic paper more energy efficient and thus greatly extending e-paper's battery life beyond that of other types of displays.

The next two years will mark an impressive period of growth for the e-paper industry, which is projected by NanoMarkets to become a $2 billion dollar business by 2012 and a $4 billion dollar business by 2014. The economic and environmental impacts of E-paper are destined to make this technology a major player in mass media and advertising in the immediate future. Electronic paper, when used instead of the traditional means of print, saves both paper and distribution costs. Further, when compared with traditional display technologies, substantially less energy is used. E-paper is an environmentally-friendly technology that stands to reduce pollution, potentially on a global scale.

EpaperCentral.com is a hub for all information regarding the implementation of electronic paper in the consumer market and the world at large. EpaperCentral.com covers news and developments in the world of e-paper, and has reviews of the newest and most exciting e-paper products. Additional EpaperCentral.com highlights include editorial content from industry professionals with diverse backgrounds in publishing, printing and electronics. Further, the site has extensive forums for discussion on e-paper technologies, new devices, manufacturers and investment opportunities.
