ITRI made Digital Paper





Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has made cool new looking flexible digital paper, actually its a color 10.4 inch cholesteric LCD (Ch-LC) flexible display and a flexible LED backlighting unit (BLU). It has plastic substrates with less then the thickness of 10mm.
Imagine this that you don't have to put up heavy books or papers again, just only one flexible display will hold the potential to show them all, and how many tress we can save.

As said by ITRI, "Its structure design is simple and is both thin and light, with a thickness reduced to 50% of that of traditional color Ch-LCD displays. The flexible 10.4-inch display has an NTSC color gamut of 57%, according to ITRI".

The ITRI also introduced a flexible LED-based BLU and said it has been successfully used in a 7 inch color flexible Active Matrix (AM) LCD display.

ITRI demonstrated a monochrome Ch-LCD flexible display built by a plastic substrate and based on roll-to-roll manufacturing. Right now the width of the display 3.5 inches and the length can be produced in any size. This is the ideal product for large size public displays, the institute noted.
