Sony shows a 13.3" flexible color e-paper prototype

Sony developed a 13.3" flexible color e-paper prototype (based on E Ink's EPD). The panel is only 150μm thick and weights 20g. The display features 800x1200 (75ppi) resolution,13% NSTC color gamut, 10% reflectance and 10:1 contrast ratio.

The prototype is made on a plastic substrate. Sony says that the key to high color gamut and reflectance was to attach a TFT substrate to an E Ink front plate with high precision (0.35μm), which reduced the margin between sub-pixels and increasing the aperture ratio of pixels. This is quite an achievement compared to the monochrome flexible prototype shown in September 2010.

nice contrast ratio

be careful when you copy paste an article... the original author made the mistake of dramatically over estimating the contrast ratio: 100.000:1

but the display only has 10:1 (it says so in the picture)

yep - you're right of course!
