The market for e-paper displays will reach $4.8 billion by 2015 according to a new report from NanoMarkets, an industry analyst firm based here. Additional details about the report titled, "The Future of E-Paper: A Technology Assessment and Market Forecast", including an excerpt, can be found on the firm's website at http://www.nanomarkets.net. Members of the press may request and receive an executive summary from the report.
Key Points: -- According to NanoMarkets, for the immediate future most e-paper firms will find the signage space to be the sweet spot for their technology, especially in electronics shelf labels (ESL) and point of purchase (POP) displays. The ESL/POP market will generate over $1.0 billion in e-paper revenues by 2015 because e-paper can improve on existing technology through image quality and the ability to display graphics. -- E-paper provides a combination of benefits not offered by other display technologies including flexibility, readability in bright sunlight and ultra-low power consumption. Coupled with the ability to be fabricated on a flexible substrate these advantages uniquely meet the needs of mobile communication and computing devices where existing displays are often hard to see outdoors, drain batteries quickly and are too small for many applications. NanoMarkets projects that cell phones alone are expected to generate almost $450 million in e-paper sales by 2015. -- The growing ability of e-paper to support color will unlock key signage and mobile communications markets and allow the technology to achieve tremendous revenues. E-paper color is beginning to use more sophisticated technology such as color filters incorporating white pixels and the latest stacked display designs.
