Based on electronic ink technology of the company E-Ink, it can display up to 4 096 colors. The contrast ratio and brightness, which promote a pleasant reading, have not been specified. In May 2006, the two companies had already partnered to develop a flexible electronic paper, 14.1 inches, too, but monochrome.  You will soon have an excuse not to take with you books and newspapers of the day.Another advantage of this e-paper: the low energy consumption. Indeed, the system uses the power that flows during a change of image. This means that unless the reader consults the same page, no energy is consumed. The electronic paper will

replace our traditional books and journals? According to a study by Display Bank, the market should represent $ 6 million by 2010 and twice in 2015. But on the sector, LG Philips LCD is not be alone.
