The New LG Display E-Paper
The Uses Are Endless
The obvious first use of this device is as an e-reader in the newspaper genre. This may change the newspaper and journalism industry as we know it. Companies can offer a subscription service to these devices for their daily newspapers, and save the cost of printing and delivery. Of course the negative here is that those people who do the printing and delivery are now out of a job. The same could be said for magazine producers. They'll be able to offer their magazines via electronic subscription, saving millions in printing, postage and other costs.
Another of the announced uses would be for retailers and others who would normally have sale and other signage in the store to stop putting up the paper and cardboard signage and replace with the new LG E-Paper, so that they don't have to print and replace the signs. They simply upload the desired advertising and the newest signage is up and running.
Other uses that have yet to be discussed for this product are computer monitors, medical hand-held information devices (imaging, bedside diagnostics, etc), devices for the vision impaired to be able to read and see in large print at an adjustable rate they control, and just so much more.
As you can see, this device has a very, very strong future and is positioned to rapidly change the world of e-paper. At 130 grams and the power efficiency to run for about a week without recharge is amazing.
