Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Dr Joseph Jacobson
Joseph Jacobson. Portrait of Dr Joseph Jacobson, one of the developers of electronic ink. Paper coated in this ink can have text downloaded onto it electronically. The digital nature of the ink allows text to be changed so one book can carry many titles. The idea involves coating a sheet with tiny transparent spheres containing minute balls and a dye. When an electric current is applied, the balls, or microcapsules, may rise upwards through the dye and become visible, or sink. By controlling where they rise and sink, text can be created. Jacobson, the Assistant Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT, USA, co-founded E Ink, the company developing this ink

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Dr Joseph Jacobson, one of the brilliant minds behind the development of electronic ink. As an Assistant Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT in the USA, Dr Jacobson co-founded E Ink, a pioneering company dedicated to advancing this revolutionary technology. The image captures Dr Joseph Jacobson's portrait, radiating intelligence and passion for innovation. His visionary work has paved the way for paper coated with electronic ink that can seamlessly download text electronically. This groundbreaking feature allows for dynamic changes in content, enabling a single book to carry multiple titles. The concept behind this remarkable invention involves coating a sheet with minuscule transparent spheres containing tiny balls and dye. By applying an electric current, these microcapsules can either rise through the dye and become visible or sink depending on controlled manipulation. Through this process, text can be effortlessly created on demand. Dr Joseph Jacobson's contribution to electronic ink has revolutionized publishing possibilities by merging traditional reading materials with digital capabilities. While commercial use is not mentioned in this caption, it is evident that his research holds immense potential across various industries beyond just books. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a tribute to Dr Joseph Jacobson's invaluable contributions towards transforming how we interact with written information using cutting-edge technology developed at MIT's Media Laboratory.
