The flexible sheet is 13.3 inch and 150 microns thick which is made possible by the use of the plastic substrate. These ultra thin, robust displays can be made compact to fit in the available space without tampering it. It has a potential to open a completely new market for sure. The most enthralling feature to be known is that the e-paper weighs less than 20 grams. Again thanks to the plastic substrate! Furthermore the product has a 13% gamut on NTSC standards. Many researchers from all over the globe highly evaluated the quality of the device. It possesses a reflectance of 10% and a contrast ratio which is as high as 1,00,000:1. Now this is totally fabulous.

I find the size to be very interesting, and I would like it if this would be used for a nice light weight device to read pdf files.
