The content on the paper can be easily erased with a thermal printing device - similar to a fax machine. The technology can find applications in electronic notice boards, digital books, large sized bulletin boards etc. The tests conducted by the researchers show that the i2R ePaper can be re-written about 260 times. The technology, if widely adopted can help us in saving tens of thousands of trees. The final product can be expected to hit the markets in next 2 years.
