03/28/2012, LG Display has scored yet another first in the industry – by rolling out the first plastic e-paper display in the world on a large scale basis. This plastic electronic paper display (EPD) will see action mainly in the e-book sector, although I am quite sure that some enterprising mind out there is also capable of figuring out yet another way of getting the job done. This 6″ XGA display […]

10/31/2011, At one point in time, getting digital displays to be flexible proved to be quite a challenge for engineers, but it has been some time since they have already managed that feat – and now the challenge lies in making sure such flexible displays will be able to display far better resolution in addition to making sure the resolution count and color, brightness, et al, are improved constantly. AUO might […]

08/08/2011, i2R’s e-paper is a new kind of paper that might just help prevent even more trees from being felled just because we love printing far more documentation than is actually required, in addition to a gazillion other excuses. Well, this is not the kind of paper that we think it is according to its Taiwan-based developers, but rather, the e-paper will rely on a thermal printer that is not too […]

05/23/2011, Sony might not have the rosiest picture when it comes to their latest earnings call, but that does not mean the company has stopped innovating. No sir, Sony’s latest announcement at the 49th SID International Symposium, Seminar & organic Exhibition (SID 2011) concerns a flexible electronic paper (e-paper) which is driven by organic TFTs (thin-film transistors), and to put it in layman’s terms – it offers the benefit of an […]

12/10/2010, Sony has introduced a new kind of 13.3-inch flexible electronic paper at Eco-Products 2010, a tradeshow which touches on green technologies that is happening in Tokyo as we speak. This new e-paper device has debuted in that part of the world, and Sony has remained mum on additional details such as its pixel count and backplane, touting the fact that this is just a concept of the idea of paper […]

11/23/2010, Normally, technology that involves e-paper of sorts are more often than not expensive, so we are pleasantly surprised to read about a new kind of e-paper prototype that is disposable. Yup, you read that right – e-paper that can be recycled once you no longer need them. This is the idea of professor Andrew Steckl from the University of Cincinnati, who managed to show off how electrowetting paper functions in […]

11/10/2010, LG Display must have taken a quick look around, realizing that the color electronic paper market does have potential for another player – which is why the South Korean display company giant will be introducing two coor prototype displays which were paraded at FPD International in Japan. Both of them will measure 9.7-inches diagonally, where the first has full color capability at 800 x 600 resolution – which is the […]

08/26/2010, LG is promising new display technologies that would give new dimensions to electronic paper. The division, LG Display, is hoping to bring a 9.7-inch color e-paper display and a 19-inch flexible e-paper display to the market soon. Electronic paper uses minimal power and only consumes battery when the display is being changed, like via a page flip, and has been employed in electronic book readers like the Amazon Kindle, which […]

12/28/2009, LG Display just penned some deals that will enable it to produce e-paper screens. The Korean company has come to an agreement with E Ink as well as Hydis Technology to develop e-paper modules in addition to cross-purchase technology between the two companies. LG will be throwing around $30.5 million into the latter with the latest move, but remained coy as to whether they will also hop on the e-book […]

10/29/2009, Samsung is currently showing off its 10.1″ color electronic paper (e-paper) device at FPD International 2009 in Japan, and hopes to roll out this e-paper in volume from one to two years’ time. It manages to retain its slim profile thanks to integrated gate ICs on the glass TFT substrate, which in turn is combined with E Ink Corp’s e-paper and a color filter. Measuring a mere 0.7mm thin, you […]
