TMDisplay start massaproductie van nieuw type e-book displays

Zoals we al eerder vermeldden (LinkNotes: E-book readers) valt en staat de introductie van bruikbare e-book readers met de ontwikkeling van goede displays . Zie voor een overzicht van de huidige stand van zaken: MobileRead Wiki - E-book Reader Matrix. Het laatste nieuws is nu dat Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Co., Ltd. (TMD) is gestart met de massaproductie van een hoge-resolution, 16-level grayscale, hoog-reflecterend, 5-inch VGA monochrome TFT liquid crystal display (LCD) met een hoge resolutie.
"The newly developed TFT LCD adopts a new, highly efficient reflective surface and internal reflection technology to maximize such optical performance, providing clear and crisp images, and is able to display small, well-defined characters easily. In addition, the new product has completely eliminated the need for a backlight thanks to the highly reflective optical performance, and thus enables a low power system design, one of the essential requirements for electronic dictionaries and ensures longer battery-powered operation. Furthermore, the new product provides faster display image rewriting compared to other reflective type display technologies, thus enabling displays which are more easily legible even during fast scrolling of texts or during video clips in electronic dictionaries or books."
