The engineers over at Fujitsu say they've made significant advancements in color electronic paper that features contrast improved by threefold and re-write speeds twice as fast as previous versions.

According to Fujitsu, the newly developed e-paper boasts the world's highest-level color image quality yet. Fujitsu accomplished the feat by redesigning the panel structure and image re-write methods, the results of which are an improved contrast ratio to 7:1, and a 0.7-second image re-write speed. Compared to previous color e-paper, this will lead to smoother image transitions with higher quality images.

"Enhanced brightness and contrast offered by Fujitsu's new color e-paper allows for more attractive, readable displays, while improvements in write speed result in smoother image transitions," Fujitsu said. "These significant performance improvements in e-paper display technology have broadened its range of potential applications as a paper-like electronic media, such as applications in portable electronic media like e-book readers, public billboards and commercial advertising."

Fujitsu plans to showcase its new color e-paper at the Fujitsu Forum 2010 event in Japan on May 13 and 14.
