Next generation E-Ink displays in the works! |
11:31 AM by Colin Dunstan in E-Book General | News Cambridge (UK)-based Plastic Logic is to work with US firm E Ink to produce what could be the nearest computing has yet got to electronic paper. Plastic Logic has demonstrated a screen that can bend to a radius of 5mm, a format that would enable its use in mobile displays that scroll out like a roll-top desk - if the flexing can be done repeatedly. It has also signed a deal with Siemens to develop flexible screens for mobiles. It is expected that the Siemens deal will involve OLED or LCD rather than E-Ink screens, which have only four greyscale levels. The company says it will be able to offer 100dpi resolution E-Ink screens in 2005 and up to 150dpi the following year, when A4 (21x29.7cm) screens will also be available.

Still in the early stages of development, it is planned to rapidly mature into an application tailored for PDA-type functionality to include reading of various types of electronic media. Ports to Linux and Win32 are planned. You can download the application from here. Related to PodReader are two articles (here and here) which explain how to build an e-book reader for iPod. |
