COLOR COMES TO E INK AND LG COLOR E-PAPER SCREEN IN JAPAN

Things sure are heating up between LG and Samsung for the display war. Now, LG is officially entering the burgeoning color electronic paper market by displaying not one, but two color prototype displays at FPD International in Japan. Both are 9.7-inches diagonal, the first being fully color with an 800 x 600 resolution — which just happens to exactly match the specs of E Ink’s latest. The second, however, is only partly color, the top three quarters being monochrome with a 1200 x 1200 resolution, augmented by a 200 x 600 color strip at the bottom. It’s an interesting offering, a layout not unlike the Nook but all on a single display. Obviously there’s no mention of price and availability as these are just prototype demo of technology.
