OED develops 'world's first graphene e-paper'

In a major technological breakthrough, Guangzhou OED Technologies in Guangdong province, in collaboration with Chongqing Graphene Tech Co Ltd, has developed a new type of electronic paper that industry experts have dubbed "the world's first graphene e-paper".

The new e-paper uses graphene and is expected to not only boost the use of the material worldwide but help expand the commercial scale of the e-paper industry.

"Compared with traditional e-papers, graphene e-paper is more pliable and has more intensity. Its high light transmittance means optical displays will be much brighter," said Chen Yu, chief executive officer of Guangzhou OED Technologies, which sources the material from its Chongqing-based partner.
