E Ink Corporation is a high-growth company commercializing a new technology called "electronic ink." Combining expertise in many disciplines, the company has invented a new way to make electronic displays. It all started when pioneering researchers at the MIT Media Lab created the first few samples of electronic ink. E Ink Corporation was founded soon afterward to bring this unique technology to the marketplace and by 1999 began field-testing Immedia displays, the first commercial application of electronic ink technology. Electronic ink combines the superior look of ink on paper with the dynamic capability of an electronic display. The Immedia displays look and feel just like regular paper signs - except they are actually connected to a network and can be programmed to change. Each Immedia display is connected, allowing the customer to send messages worldwide from a single desktop. Future generations of electronic ink displays are being designed for applications as broad-ranging as handheld devices, outdoor billboards, and electronic books and newspapers. Ultimately electronic ink will permit most any surface to become a display, bringing information out from behind computer screens and into the world around us. Articles about electronic ink and Immedia products have appeared in various major publications. E Ink was named as one of Fortune's twelve Cool Companies of 1998 and was featured on the cover of Nature in July 1998 and of USA Today in May 1999. E Ink and its technology have been publicized in many other sources, including Wired, Scientific American, New York Times, EE Times, Washington Post, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Le Monde, Die Welt, Handelsblatt, La VanGuardia and The Economist, as well as on ABC World News Tonight, Fox News, National Public Radio and the BBC. E Ink is a private corporation headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts whose investors include major corporations Cabot Corporation, Central Newspapers, Gruppo Espresso, Havas, Hearst Corporation, Interpublic, The McClatchy Company, Motorola, and Veba.
