Newspaper-Sized ePaper Prototypes

'LG Display' ePaper Goes Large and Flexible

— January 18, 2010 — Eco
LG Display ePaper is almost as large as a page of A3 size newspaper. The flexible 19-inch LG ePaper display prototype has the potential to bring the feel and flexibility of real paper to large-format eReader devices.

The ePaper uses a metal foil as a skin that also retracts the unit to its original shape. The LG Display ePaper prototype doesn’t have a built-in processor, input device or storage, so the final weight and feel of the oversized ePaper will depend upon the interfacing technologies. Just when LG Display will commercialize the 19-inch display is unknown.
Trend Themes
1. Flexible Epaper - The flexible LG ePaper display prototype has the potential to bring the feel and flexibility of real paper to future large-format eReader devices, opening opportunities for the development of more durable and portable devices.
2. Large-format Ereaders - The development of the almost A3 size LG ePaper display prototype could pave the way for larger and more interactive eReaders, providing an opportunity to engage readers with dynamic content, such as videos embedded into the digital pages.
3. Smart Surfaces - With the metal foil skin that retracts the LG ePaper display prototype, it opens new possibilities for creating interactive and smart surfaces that can change shape and size while maintaining its resolution quality.
Industry Implications
1. Electronics - Companies in the electronics industry can leverage the growth in the demand for large-format eReaders and flexible displays, to innovate and design more robust and lightweight devices, that are ideal for easy transportation.
2. Publishing - The publishing industry can utilize the flexibility and dynamic content capabilities of the LG ePaper display prototype and create more engaging content with videos or interactive experiences, that can be viewed on larger eReader devices.
3. Architecture - The development of retractable skins for displays, could be implemented in the architecture industry, by providing new opportunities to create adaptable and responsive environments, such as smart billboards or interactive walls.
