Epson Unveils Electronic Substitute For Conventional Papers - Gizmo Watch

Epson Unveils Electronic Substitute For Conventional Papers - Gizmo Watch: "Epson has come up with a revolutionary concept of electronic paper which it claims can replace the traditional wooden raw-material based paper. This 13.4 inch electronic paper was unveiled at SID 2008, Los Angeles. It has a pixel count of 3104 × 4128. Actually, this is the size of the traditional A4 size paper. As the electronic displays strain eyes when reading, this paper has the same conventional white background with black letters over it and it’s contrast ratio is being adjusted at 10:1 and reflectance is 40% for the soothing effect. If this concept turns out to be true, it could provide a great relief to the vanishing forests in Canada and Brazil that are being chopped off every year, paper manufacturing industry being one of the main reasons for them.
