LG has released a new display technology that not even Rupert Murdoch can turn a blind eye to. With the e-reader consumer market continuing to grow, LG insists on not being outdone, and they may have succeeded.
LG unveiled an e-paper prototype about which, they claim is the largest produced using current technology. The 19-inch display uses a metal foil in exchange for the usual glass backing, which gives it its flexibility.
LG will likely be marketing this towards newspapers, and newspapers should be so lucky. Traditional e-readers, like Kindle and the Nook, stumble when it comes to executing the same comforting experience as print. Utilizing technology like this might help consumers more widely adopt the e-reading concept.
