In the first published critical review of technical developments related to electronic paper devices (i.e., e-readers like the Amazon Kindle), UC researcher Jason Heikenfeld and industry counterparts review the next generation of these devices.
The just-released February issue of the Journal of the Society for Information Display contains the first-ever critical review of current and future prospects for electronic paper functions -- in other words reviewing and critiquing the technologies that will bring us devices like
-
full-color, high-speed, low-power e-readers;
-
iPads that can be viewed in bright sunlight, or
-
e-readers and iPads so flexible that they can be rolled up and put in a pocket.
