Towards Paper-thin Monitors
Fujitsu have introduced the bendable electronic paper. It has plenty of advantages over thin displays in existence:
- No electricity is required for continuous display
- Minimal power consumption when changing screen image
- High-level display performance
- Flexible film substrate
…electronic paper can be conveniently used in conjunction with mobile devices as an easy-to-read and portable display device.
…
Text or images from mobile phones or other mobile devices can be transferred wirelessly to larger displays for easy viewing.
Use in the home can offer more convenient digital-media devices that can be carried from room to room.
Overall, it is a very exciting innovation. On the downside, it makes the dream of a paperless office slip away.
