E Ink Corporation in USA and LG Philips LCD together have built a 10.1″ flexible electronic paper display, as stated on E Ink press release yesterday (19/10). The paper-white display is a think and flexible as contruction paper. Comes with less than 300 microns thick and 10.1″ diagonal, the prototype achieves SVGA (600×800) resolution at 100 pixels per inch and has a 10:1 contrast ratio with 4 levels of grayscale.

The product is based on E Ink Imaging Film, a novel display material that looks like printed ink on paper and has been designed for use in paper-like electronic displays. This material can be flexed and rolled, just like a normal paper. Furhtermore, the E Ink Imaging Film uses 100 times less energy than a liquid crystal display because it can hold an image without power and without a backlight.

Electronic paper, or e-paper, is a technology that allows the text on a piece of paper to be re-written. The “paper” is actually made of organic electronics that use conductive plastic which contains tiny balls that respond to an electric charge, changing the page in much the same way that pixels change on a computer monitor.
