E-Paper also uses low energy and its cost is cheap to manufacture. It is light, robust and portable, thus easy to carry around without having to worry about breaking it. It could be used to the advantage of many organizations in such ways that they could use it to simplify advertising and target the right consumers. E-paper is used in applications such as e-books, credit and security cards and watches and cell phones.
