For more information, see the Larger Devices section of the E-book Reader Matrix - which has a row for Display Size. Note that only devices with 7", 8.1", and 9.7" screens are actually shipping. The Hanlin A9 is the best documented SiPix device, and you can see that its 9" screen is only 10% shorter than the Kindle/eDge 9.7" screen. All of the screens above 9.7" have a flexible backplane, but none is shipping yet.
