It looks like LG is about to hit the market very hard with its new Electronic Paper promising us to substitute our paper books. The flexible thing is 14.3-inch with a resolution of 16.7 million colors (1,280 x 800 pixels). Its battery can last for 7,000 hours between charges (this is the real wow!).

“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. “The reflective foil substrate is as easy to read as a printed sheet of paper and can be used in a number of applications like electronic textbooks and smart ID cards, where picture quality is as important as durability and portability.”
