watch it in paper
May 16, 2007 – 2:18 pm
It finally has been done: a colored E-paper.
LG has announced that it had developed the world’s first 14.1-inch flexible color E-paper display, equivalent in size to an A4 sheet of paper. Philips LCD introduced the world’s first 14.1-inch black and white flexible E-paper display in May 2006.
The E-paper uses electronic ink to produce a maximum of 4,096 colors. It can be viewed from a full 180 degrees, so that images always appear crisp, even when the display is bent.
It only uses power when the image changes, making it extremely energy efficient. Additionally the displays are extremely thin (less than 300 micrometers) and images are comparable in quality to printed pages.
“LG.Philips LCD is the first company to develop a flexible color E-paper display of this size.” said Mr. In-Jae Chung, the company’s Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President. “The potential applications for this display are incredible and will allow our customers to create new products that are not only convenient to use but also save natural resources. This represents the next generation in display technology.”
Wow. Isn’t it a wonder how much people would go through just to watch… (insert funny line here—>
