E-paper with high resolution seems to be
in vogue these days. If you're going to be at this year's Consumer Electronics Show don't miss the "world's highest resolution" 14.3-inch flexible color e-paper presented by LG.Philips LCD. It's 14.3-inch in size (that's nearly an A4 paper) with a "never before seen resolution" of 1280x800 pixels. Did we mention that it's bendable and can be viewed from a full 180 degrees? Sure, we didn't expect anything less. Add to it some color (16.7 million colors in fact), and you'll have the perfect tool to make the perfect e-book reader.
Now, before you get too excited and trash your old e-reader, remember that this is what we might expect in the future but not any time soon. LG.Philips LCD mentions in the same
press release that for 2008 they are going to launch their mono flexible e-paper in B5 size. Quite a downer compared to the head-spinning display above.
