El periódico de tinta electrónica ya es una realidad, una realidad que estará en el mercado a partir del próximo año.

Plastic Logic ha desarrollado un lector de periódicos electrónicos, un e-newspaper o e-periódico (ya veremos cómo se llama finalmente), que es la réplica de los lectores de ebooks diseñado para los periódicos.

Se trata de un lector de pantalla más grande, casi el triple que Kindle, que utiliza la misma tecnología, una pantalla de tinta electrónica de E-Ink Corporation, igual que Sony Reader, iLiad, Cybook y tantos otros.

La principal novedad, además de usar una pantalla más grande para reproducir mejor el periódico convencional, es su conectividad inalámbrica permanente, para ir actualizando las noticias en tiempo real.

Si bien lo ideal para este periódico electrónico sería usar una pantalla flexible, para poder ser enrollado como un periódico convencional (ver un diseño conceptual de Mayo Nissen) esta tecnología no está tan desarrollada todavía, aunque será el siguiente paso.

LG.Philips LCD Develops Highest Resolution Color, Flexible Display



LG.Philips LCD will debut the world?s highest resolution 14.3-inch flexible color E-paper display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2008.

The 14.3-inch E-paper display, which is equivalent in size to an A4 sheet of paper, represents a significant improvement over its predecessors with a never before seen resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels, and the ability to display 16.7 million colors, making it perfect for use in high end multimedia applications. These displays are energy efficient, only using power when the image changes. Additionally, the displays are extremely thin, at less than 300 micrometers.

LG.Philips LCD?s use of metal foil and plastic substrates, rather than glass substrate makes the flexible color E-paper display bendable and durable. Like its predecessors, this 14.3-inch display uses a substrate that arranges thin-film transistors (TFT) on metal foil rather than glass, allowing it to recover its original shape after being bent. Furthermore, it can also be viewed from a full 180 degrees.

This new display uses LG.Philips LCD?s processing technology to minimize panel deformation and prevent circuit structure change during high-temperature processes-focusing on the designs of the color filter structure and TFT, as well as color filter lamination technology. This allows the display to overcome processing difficulties inherent in the lack of heat resistance in metal foil and plastic substrates.

"Our new 14.3-inch flexible color display is nearly the equivalent size of an A4 size paper, but you can roll it up and take it with you," said Mr. In-Jae Chung, LG.Philips LCD?s chief technology officer and executive vice president.

LG.Philips LCD will also unveil the highest resolution mono flexible E-paper which is similar in size to a B5 size paper and it plans to launch this mono flexible E-paper in 2008.

CES 2008 will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) from January 7 to 10, 2008.
