Electronic reusable paper is a display material that has many of the properties of paper.
Electronic reusable paper utilizes a display technology, invented at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), called "Gyricon." A Gyricon sheet is a thin layer of transparent plastic in which millions of small beads, somewhat like toner particles, are randomly dispersed.
This electronic reusable paper printing device may one day be small enough to fit into a purse.
