摘要

近年隨著電子設備的發展及健康意識的崛起，電子紙這種具有紙張特性的顯示器開始被大眾所關注，電子紙相比於一般顯示器擁有不傷眼、低耗電、可撓曲等優點。但是目前的應用程式開發商都沒有針對電子紙的顯示特性，包含了電子紙的低螢幕反應速度，以及每次換頁產生的螢幕刷新效果，來開發電子紙專用的系統，而若將一般的應用程式直接使用於電子紙上則會產生大量的殘影，以及過多次的螢幕刷新效果等問題。
在本論文中我們將分析一般的應用程式，直接使用於電子紙上所會產生的一些問題，並依照問題提出利用減少頁面切換，來改善系統使用於電子紙上的顯示效果，最後根據論文中所提出的方法開發一款電子紙專用的即時通訊系統E-Paper Message (EPM)。實驗結果顯示，EPM在電子紙上使用可以完全去除殘影的產生，以及在功能操作上可以有比較少次的螢幕刷新效果。在實驗中也與多個知名即時通訊系統如LINE、WeChat、WhatsApp等做比較，實驗結果顯示，EPM相比於一般的即時通訊系統更適合在電子紙上使用。

In recent years, awareness of health versus electronic devices has risen. Much public attention has been focused on the e-paper device. The device has the advantages of less eye injuries, low power consumption, flexibility and many more. However, current application developers do not devote much attention to develop applications focused on the characteristics of e-paper devices. Futhermore, the display characteristics of the e-paper screen contains low response rate, and each page switching produces screen refresh effect. The current popular applications if applied on the e-paper device would result in extreme blurring, and too many screen refresh effects.
In this thesis, we will evaluate the issues resulting from the use of the common application software in the e-paper device. The display effect of instant messaging system on the e-paper device will also be improved by reducing page switching. Finally, to develop an instant messaging system E-Paper Message (EPM) dedicated for the e-paper device. Experimental results showed that EPM in e-paper device can completely remove extreme blurring, and can effectively reduce screen refresh effects. Comparisons were also made with a number of well-known instant messaging systems such as LINE, WeChat, and WhatsApp. The results showed that EPM, when compared to the other instant messaging systems, is more suitable for use in the e-paper device.
