LG Display unveils newspaper-size flexible e-paper

 LG Display has announced its development of a newspaper-size flexible e-paper. The 19-inch wide (250x400mm) flexible e-paper is almost as big as a page of A3 sized newspaper. The product is optimized for an e-newspaper and able to convey the feeling of reading an actual newspaper. Additionally, as the product measures 0.3 millimeters thin, the e-paper weighs just 130 grams despite its 19-inch size.

LG Display arranged TFT on metal foil rather than glass substrate, allowing the e-paper display to recover its original shape after being bent. The use of a metal foil substrate makes the e-paper both flexible and durable while maintaining display qualities. In particular, LG Display applied GIP (gate-in-panel) technology which integrates the gate driver IC onto the panel. This improves its flexibility by removing driver ICs which are attached to the side of panel and hinder the bending of the display.

CTO and executive VP of LG Display, In Jae Chung said, “Our development of the world’s largest flexible display has opened up a new market in the next-generation display sector of e-paper. As the e-paper market is growing at a rapid pace, LG Display will continue to deliver new value to customers and the market through industry-leading technologies and differentiated products.”

Meanwhile LG Display plans to launch mass production of an 11.5-inch flexible e-paper display in the first half of 2010.

LG Display cited DisplaySearch saying that the e-book market will grow from approximately US$370 million in 2009 to US$1.2 billion in 2011 and to US$1.73 billion in 2017.

Future New Purposes For GPS Tech

A few years ago, Tech Radar wrote about how the future of GPS would change how we use our smartphones. The article was mostly about the changing fundamentals of GPS technology, but the implications were that more accurate and communicative positioning devices would also change the ways in which we use the technology. Now two years further into the future, we’re beginning to see that change take effect, as GPS is being used for far more than finding the way to an unfamiliar destination across town.

We tend to think of GPS systems as relating exclusively to vehicles and maps. That’s to say, you’re either using a GPS program in your car to find your way somewhere, or you’re plugging in addresses or coordinates on an online map to determine distances or satisfy a curiosity. But one of the most promising modern applications of GPS actually shrinks things down to a much smaller and more precise level. As explained at A Place For Mom, we’re beginning to see caregivers make use of tiny GPS devices in order to keep tabs on seniors and other people who may need monitoring. It’s something you may not have considered unless you’ve personally cared for an elderly friend or family member, but in some cases people who require regular assistance develop a tendency to wander off or get lost accidentally. GPS can now be used to track such people’s exact whereabouts, or simply to sound an alert if these people leave pre-determined areas.

On a somewhat-similar level, Networkfleet posted an article explaining how GPS can also be used to assist the visually impaired, and in some cases potentially replace guide dogs. An app has been developed by a company called Sendero Group LLC that is meant to alert its users to “points of interest” and cross streets while they’re out and about. Think of it like the small sounds you hear at crosswalks designed to help visually impaired pedestrians know when it’s safe to cross the street, only more detailed and tailored to an individual’s path. The same app supports a “look around wand” that tells users what’s in the way when they point it. It also saves routing information to building entrances and other locations people may visit repeatedly. All of this is accomplished through a precise GPS that recognizes not just streets and routes but objects and obstacles in a person’s immediate vicinity.

And finally, more precise GPS devices for individuals can also be used for tracking the whereabouts of children.Mashable pointed to a handful of specific devices that can parents can use to be sure of their children’s whereabouts at all times. Some would naturally consider this a restriction of childhood freedoms, and even some parents are uncomfortable with the concept of surveillance at this level. However, when considered as a safeguard against emergencies, such systems have immense value. There’s very real potential for GPS-based programs to drastically reduce the number of child disappearances, not to mention alleviate a lot of parents’ stress!

These are just a few examples of how the nature of GPS is shifting thanks to modern technology. Some are anxious that the improving quality of GPS systems and the expansion of their use is opening the door for problematic things like government surveillance of individual activity, or even mistrust among friends and family. However, as the examples above make clear, there are also some significant benefits to be enjoyed from improving and expanding GPS programs.
