A bendable plastic E-Paper Display could be set to shakeup the eBook industry. LG Display\u2019s plastic E-Paper Display (EPD) is as thin as the protection film found on a Smartphone, making it about a third slimmer than existing eBook displays and about half as light.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
Perfect feature is that you can\u00a0actually bend an EPD by up to 40 degrees from the centre of the screen\u00a0<\/strong>– ideal for adjusting glare or for a more authentic book-like experience.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
LG Display claims it can withstand repeated drop tests from up to 1.5 meters and is even\u00a0scratch and break resistant, having (allegedly) survived a beating from a small urethane hammer<\/strong>.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
The plastic E-Paper Display also helps\u00a0to reduce eye fatigue, and the amount of electricity needed.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There\u2019s no word on pricing yet, but the fact LG Display has talked up EPDs as being cheaper alternatives to\u00a0current eBook<\/a>\u00a0displays bodes well. LG Display\u2019s first EPD, a 6-inch (1024 x 768) display is expected to be rolled out this year.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
