It was called Gyricon and consisted of small, static charged balls. Electronic paper contains microcapsules having an average diameter of about 40 microns, where the  white particles  are positively charged and black particles are negatively charged  in a transparent viscous polymer. Driving the pixels is done at segment displays using passive matrix displays. The depiction of gray levels on Electronic Paper is controlled by the timing of the applied voltage. Originally, eight gray levels were displayed, the current Electronic Paper displays are working with 16 shades of gray.
