The Future of E-Paper: A Technology Assessment and Market Forecast

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c93247) has announced the
addition of Future of E-Paper: A Technology Assessment and Market
Forecast to their offering.

Amazon's Kindle e-book reader is selling well. Rollable e-paper
displays will be on the market this year. Serious progress is being
made towards color e-paper displays. Clearly, e-paper is now well on
its way to becoming a viable consumer technology. This forthcoming
report from NanoMarkets analyzes the new market environment for
e-paper, assesses the latest technology and provides a quantitative
and qualitative forecast for shipments of e-paper products of all
kinds ranging from book readers and flexible mobile displays to
signage and smart shelving.

This new NanoMarkets report also examines the many uncertainties
and challenges that beset the e-paper market. With e-paper now well
into the commercialization phase, one key objective of this report
will be to project performance improvements expected over the next
eight years and assess the marketing importance of such factors as
flexibility, system architecture, resolutions, backplane switching
speeds, and color capability.

The report also examines which e-paper technologies will be
successful and why. Many of the successes of e-paper to date have come
from offerings using electrophoretic technology. So what is the future
of the many competing technologies such cholesteric LCDs or
electrochromic. Also, many of the products being designed with e-paper
are entirely novel and have no established markets. How can these
markets be successfully created and new supply chains built?

NanoMarkets has been covering the e-paper market for almost four
years and this report is a follow-on from our successful 2007 e-paper
report. It provides our views on the latest product announcements and
provides special focus on the future of color e-paper and flexible
displays. We also examine in-depth the latest thinking on
manufacturing processes and materials used to get e-paper to the
market. Finally, the report provides strategic profiles of the leading
providers of e-paper and a detailed eight-year market forecast of
e-paper markets, broken out by application, materials and technology.
