Abstract

The expectations for Electronic Paper can be summarized as readability, compactness, multi-functionality, and resource conservation. Paper-like readability should be accepted as the most important target of Electronic Paper, when we consider that no existing electronic display is as comfortable, to read, as paper. A concept of readable Electronic Paper is proposed, and its expected properties, applications, and various candidate technologies are reviewed. Several experiments to clarify how to realize ideal readability on electronic medium are also introduced. It is suggested that free handling of medium and total view for each page without scrolling are essential factors for getting paper-like readability.
