LG dips toes in color electronic paper niche

LG Display must have taken a quick look around, realizing that the color electronic paper market does have potential for another player – which is why the South Korean display company giant will be introducing two coor prototype displays which were paraded at FPD International in Japan. Both of them will measure 9.7-inches diagonally, where the first has full color capability at 800 x 600 resolution – which is the exact specifications of E Ink’s latest. As for the other model, this one does have a spot of color, although the top three quarters are monochrome at 1200 x 1200 resolution, aided by a 200 x 600 color strip at the bottom. We do wonder what kind of layout you will get with this display. There is no revelation on price or availability at press time, so playing the patience game will definitely reveal more information.
