Design Students have evidence of imminent roll-up LCD displays, just in time for start of school
Well, all those teachers who were giving a hard time to students coming in with "futuristic" roll-up LCD displays on their PDHoo-haas are out of business this week. Just print out this link, or memorize the following and stick it to the man!
The Readius is based on the PV-QML5 display module. Polymer Vision said design starts around its PV-QML5 were imminent in March. The PV-QML5 is 100-microns thick with a resolution of QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) on a 5-inch diagonal. When not in use the display can be rolled up with a radius of curvature of less than 7.5-millimeters, Polymer Vision said. With four gray levels, the monochrome display provides a contrast ratio of 10:1. The display uses a bi-stable electrophoretic display effect from E Ink Corp. When the user has finished reading, the display can be rolled back into the Readius which then measures 100-mm by 60-mm by 20-mm. [Engadget]
