1. An apparatus for the electronic display of information, comprising:
- a substrate into which the apparatus is permanently embedded;
a digital recording medium associated therewith, where information is stored by the digital recording medium; and
an updateable, flexible substrate display located on an exposed surface of the apparatus, wherein said substrate display includes a display medium capable of selectively displaying one of at least two possible colors at a plurality of pixel locations thereon;
where the flexible substrate display changes state in response to a signal generated from information stored in the digital recording medium.

Abstract
An apparatus for the electronic display of information, where the apparatus is a substrate incorporating a digital recording medium attached to or embedded within the substrate. The substrate further includes a flexible-substrate display located on an exposed surface of the substrate, where the display is a medium capable of selectively displaying one of at least two possible colors at each pixel location thereon in order to produce a substrate medium that may be modified in accordance with a user'"'"'s selection.
