e-paper
Kindle display technology
E-paper is a display technology designed to mimic the appearance of ink on paper.
Unlike backlit screens, e-paper reflects ambient light and maintains an image without continuous power, making it easy on the eyes and energy-efficient.
It dominates e-readers like the Kindle: I prefer e-paper for long reading sessions.
Also called electronic paper or e-ink (after the leading brand).
