電子紙是一種先進的顯示技術，由於其組成的材料結構導致刷新率較低，通常用於顯示靜態內容，很少用於動態圖像。電子紙已被廣泛地應用於物聯網裝置上，但是目前沒有任何研究關於分析電子紙的刷新率。 在本文中，我們研究電子紙嵌入動畫的刷新率，以提高商業電子紙的可讀性，我們還以泡沫排序動畫為例，展示其可讀性，這項研究的結果表明，儘管電子紙的刷新率不適合用於播放一般影片，但它適合播放幀率較低的動畫，例如帶有動畫的工程文件、教學動畫。此外透過電子紙閱讀帶有動畫的文件有助於讀者更好地理解和記住訊息。

Electronic paper (e-paper) is an advanced display technology that is usually used to display static content and less used on the dynamic image because the lower refresh rate. E-paper has been more widely used in a variety of Internet of Things (IoT). However, there is no study to analyze the relationship between e-paper refresh rate and the size of the refresh frame. In this paper, we investigate the refresh rates of e-paper to embed animation for improving the readability of commercial e-papers. We also demonstrate a bubble sort animation as an example to improve the readability. Results of this study showed that despite the e-paper refresh rate is not appropriate to display video, it is suitable for display animations with lower frame rate such as engineering documents with animation. Moreover, reading documents with animation by e-paper helps the reader better understand and remember information.
