Novel e-paper personalizes electronic devices.

The article features the color-e-paper technology by Philips Research that allows personalization of electronic devices with potential for use in large "e-wallpapers." The capabilities generated by this technology are discussed along with its application in e-skins for small devices. Its potentials in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) scanners, and in ambience-creation are discussed. Also mentioned is the basis of e-skin technology particularly in controlling motion using an electric field or electrophoresis.
