Philips Research has developed a novel colour e-paper technology that opens up new design opportunities for personalizing electronic devices. This means that the colour and appearance, of the device?s surface, for example an MP3 player or mobile phone can easily be changed to match your outfit, mood or environment simply at the touch of a button.

The technology has the potential to be used in the future for larger area ?e-wallpapers? where you can adjust the colour of your wall or smart windows to regulate the daylight coming through your window.

Philips? e-skin technology is based on its previous work with electronic paper (e-paper). E-paper looks like conventional paper and the bright wash of colour it generates uses the ambient light for rendition, just like conventional paint, so no backlight is needed. Which means that the vividness of the colour is maintained, even in bright outdoor conditions.
