October 21, 2005 -- E Ink Corp has announced that LG.Philips LCD and E Ink have built a 10.1-inch flexible electronic paper display. The display will be shown at the FPD International trade show in Japan.
Less than 300 microns thick, the paper-white display is as thin and flexible as construction paper. With a 10.1-inch diagonal, the prototype achieves SVGA (600 x 800) resolution at 100 pixels per inch and has a 10:1 contrast ratio with 4 levels of grayscale.
E Ink Imaging Film is a display material that looks like printed ink on paper and has been designed for use in paper-like electronic displays. Like paper, the material can be flexed and rolled. As an additional benefit, it uses 100 times less energy than a liquid crystal display because it can hold an image without power and without a backlight.
LG.Philips LCD and E Ink selected a steel foil material that could be supplied by Sumitomo Corp in high volume and which was developed by Nippon Steel Corp. The flexible foil is a super-thin, flat, high-performance steel that can easily withstand the high temperatures of a TFT production process.
LG.Philips LCD combined both materials to manufacture the display panel at an existing pilot TFT line in Korea.
