Document Summary

Each new widely used display technology is able to create larger display screens more cheaply than the last. Increasing brightness: putting a low resolution display behind a high resolution version of the same image increases the output brightness, current screens are approaching the brightness of sunlight. E-paper and e-ink: electronic displays that mimic paper, use little energy, relies on small spheres that are painted half white and half black. The side of the sphere showing flips based on the charge of the. Black and white images/text can be displayed: foundational technology of the kindle. Organic light emitting diodes (oled: theoretically, could reach 100% efficiency, can be made into flexible screens.
