Flexible colour e-paper from Fujitsu
Three Fujitsu companies have gotten together to deliver the world’s first flexible colour e-paper that doesn’t lose its display when switched off. Very useful to create changeable flyers or car stickers. Right now, it only exists in the lab, of course, but Fujitsu said it plans to begin testing the product in real-world environments with a view to a commercial release sometime between April 2006 and March 2007, the company’s 2006 fiscal year.
Fujitsu Laboratories, Fujitsu and Fujitsu Frontech announced on 13 July 2005 that they have developed the world’s first flexible colour electronic paper that retains its display when unpowered.
The use of a film substrate for the ultra-thin display device allows it to be flexible. As the display portion uses three overlaid red, green and blue panels, a colour filter and polarising layer are not necessary. The display is brighter than a reflective LCD and, as refreshing is not required, there is no flickering. In addition, the screen colours do not distort when the screen is bent or pressed with a finger.
