on 01/15/2010, filed in Home > General

Do you find that the Kindle and Nook too techie, and want something similar to your traditional newspaper? Well, LG seems to be working on a display technology that could offer that to you. The company has developed the world’s largest flexible electronic paper screen, measuring 25cm by 40cm, basically a 19-inch screen size. With its thickness measuring in at 0.3mm, it’s certainly thin. The display uses a metal foil instead of traditional glass to make it flexible and durable. The best part is that it only requires power when the screen is refreshed, so it’ll certainly boast a long battery life.

LG: LG Corporation is a South Korean conglomerate that is based in Seoul. LG operates a number of subsidiaries including LG Electronics, LG Display, LG Telecom, and LG Chem. The conglomerate specializes in developing electronics, telecom products, and chemicals. LG Corp. was founded in 1947 by Koo In-Hwoi. Koo first established Lak-Hui Chemical Industrial Corp. in 1947. Today, Lak-Hui (pronounced lucky) is known as LG Chem. The company then expanded its business and created Goldstar Co. Ltd, now known as LG Electronics Inc. Both companies merged and formed Lucky-Goldstar, which was eventually renamed “LG” in 1995.
