Radio Paper

Here, i am going to introduced you with a new era of flexible electronics. The main aim of this technology is to make large area electronics applications flexible. In this approach one new invention has been added and that is Radio Paper. This also known as Electronic Paper or Reusable paper. E-paper is a display medium that has a properties of paper like we can write or erase but electronically. Unlike paper, we can reuse it, means we can write and erase million time (through refreshing).

As this is in research and its future applications are in e-books, electronics newspaper, portable signs, and fordable, and rollable displays. 
Electronic reusable paper utilizes a display technology, invented at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), called "Gyricon."A Gyricon sheet is a thin layer of transparent plastic in which millions of small beads which are bichromal (having color, black and white)  somewhat like toner particles, are randomly dispersed. Text and images are displayed through a rotation of the beads that occurs in response to an electrical impulse: a full rotation displays as black or white, and a partial rotation displays as gray shades.The image will persist until new voltage patterns are applied.
