One approach particularly relevant to business and managements staff is electronic paper (EP) since it enables untutored staff to utilise powerful computer facilities without the need for specialised computer training and understanding. This paper describes the concept of EP and some typical applications that are practical now and in the future. The historical development and current state of the technology required to produce successful EP devices are also discussed. A list of key commercial systems is provided
