Flexible Electronic Books
Flexible electronic books to hit market soon
Plastic Logic??… A display technology company based in Cambridge, UK, says it will launch the first flexible electronic book by 2010.
The two most popular e-books on the market are the Amazon Kindle and Sony Reader, are paperback book-sized devices that use first-generation black and white electronic “ink” displays. These consist of a plastic sheet containing pixel-sized voids, each filled with black and white ink particles. Electric fields attract the ink to the top of these voids to display print. The problem is, the transistors that apply these electric fields sit on a layer of glass, making the displays fragile.
