LG.Philips LCD has demonstrated a 14.3-inch flexible e-paper product at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The portable display supports 1280×800 pixels in 4096 colours, and boasts a screen size just a little smaller than A4. Lightweight and flexible, the 300-micrometre thick product is made of reflective foil substrate with a plastic coating (i.e. no glass), which means you can roll it up. It uses E Ink technology, which keeps the image on-screen even when disconnected from power, and the image itself is viewable through 180 degrees. The company has also announced its plans to release a new black-and-white e-paper product in B5 size this year, and it is expected to be the highest resolution e-paper device yet.
