Fujitsu Announces Bendable Colour Electronic Paper
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 09:30 AM
"Bendable colour screens have been in the pipeline for some time (see related links), but Fujitsu is the first company to announce a wireless version that it hopes will hit shops sometime between April 2006 and March 2007. According to Fujitsu its newly developed e-paper features an image memory function that enables “continuous display of the same image without the need for electricity”, although it does require a smidge of power to switch images. Plus, the images don’t warp or lose quality when the e-paper is bent or rolled up."
Technology like this is an important step towards evolving the form factor of today's PDAs. Very cool to see this first step - I can imagine some very interesting uses two or three generations down the line.
