LG Display has developed a flexible electronic-paper screen that's almost as large as a tabloid newspaper, it said Thursday.
The screen measures 25 centimeters by 40 centimeters, which translates into a 19-inch diagonal screen size, and is 0.3 millimeters thin so it can bend. LG Display managed to make it flexible by utilizing a metal foil instead of the more traditional glass substrate. The South Korean company said the screen is the largest flexible e-paper display yet produced.
Electronic paper has already been put to use in e-book readers like Amazon's Kindle and Sony's Reader devices. It boasts a high-contrast ratio that makes it easy to read and relies on ambient light so doesn't cause eye strain over long periods of use. Additionally it only requires power when the screen is refreshed so e-paper devices typically have a long battery life.
