The past couple of years have been a rollercoaster ride for Holland-based e-paper manufacturer Polymer Vision, the company best known for the Readius e-reader featuring its flexible e-paper technology. It was revealed last month that the board of directors of Taiwan-based Wistron had approved the acquisition of Polymer Vision, which had gone belly-up just a few months earlier.
According to a fresh report, Wistron is developing a 5- to 6-inch device featuring Polymer Vision’s flexible e-paper technology. Brian Chong, chief of product planning at Wistron, told Digitimes that the new device will borrow its design from the Readius e-reader. The plan is to launch it in 2010.
Polymer Vision’s Readius e-reader made heads turn when it made its first public appearance. But Polymer Vision soon found itself in financial disarray that culminated in bankruptcy, and the Readius never came close to being launched.
