Fujitsu Next Generation Color e-Paper Module

Fujitsu demonstrated a next generation cholesteric LCD color digital paper module at the International Digital Publishing Expo. Cholesteric liquid crystals do not require polarizing plates, reflecting plates, color filters or back lights, so they can be thin, light and bright. This trial model weighs 220g, so it is thinner and lighter than the previously commercialized FLEPia Lite, which also used the same display technology. The OS was changed from Windows to Linux, and the processing speed has been greatly improved. The writing speed is 0.7 seconds, and the 4,096-color range remains unchanged from before, but as dithering has been eliminated, the color display has been improved.
