Bangalore: LG has started the mass production of the world's first plastic Electronic Paper Display (EPD) for use in E-Books.
The 6 inch XGA (Extended Graphics Array) plastic EPD (1024x768 pixels of resolution) is expected to revolutionize the E-Book market with its advancements in functionality and design.
It offers users a paper-like reading experience with a plastic substrate that is as slim as cell phone protection film and a flexible design that allows bending at a range of 40 degrees from the center of the screen.
While compared to glass EPD of the same size and resolution, the plastic EPD has a super slim thickness of 0.7 mm which is 1/3 slimmer than the existing glass EPD. As EPD gets thinner, lighter, and more durable, E-Books will be able to offer unique benefits compared to smartphones and tablets, including reduced eye fatigue and more efficient electricity consumption.
LG Display will first be supplied to ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) companies in China and completed products to be released in Europe at the beginning of next month.
