IF Award
It is designed to emulate the experience of reading a book, its interface is made to feel like handling a printed book. As we would intuitively run through text with our fingers as we read. The interface adopts this habit, organizing the ebook's menu and content in indexes; thus users would habitually run his finger along the index and press on the corresponding button to make a selection. |

The Ebook Display
6 inches display, ample for your everyday reading need; it uses Electronic Paper Display (EPD) that offers a paper-like reading experience. EPD does not require being back-lit or a continuously refreshing display; therefore it does not lead to eye-strain with reading. It allows outdoor reading as it eliminate glare under the sun. |

Electronic ink
E-ink is a proprietary material that is processed into a film for integration into electronic displays. Although revolutionary in concept, electronic ink is a straightforward fusion of chemistry, physics and electronics to create this new material. The principal components of electronic ink are millions of tiny microcapsules, about the diameter of a human hair. In one incarnation, each microcapsule contains positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles suspended in a clear fluid. When a negative electric field is applied, the white particles move to the top of the microcapsule where they become visible to the user. This makes the surface appear white at that spot. At the same time, an opposite electric field pulls the black particles to the bottom of the microcapsules where they are hidden. By reversing this process, the black particles appear at the top of the capsule, which now makes the surface appear dark at that spot.
To form an E Ink electronic display, the ink is printed onto a sheet of plastic film that is laminated to a layer of circuitry. The circuitry forms a pattern of pixels that can then be controlled by a display driver. These microcapsules are suspended in a liquid "carrier medium" allowing them to be printed using existing screen printing processes onto virtually any surface, including glass, plastic, fabric and even paper. Ultimately electronic ink will permit almost any surface to become a display, bringing information out of the confines of traditional devices and into the world around us.
