Delta electronics is showing their upcoming color e-reader, and they hope to release it in December 2010. It has a 13.1" color display, based on Bridgestone's e-paper technology. The e-reader supports pen input. Delta claims that the display's refresh rate is faster than in E Ink displays.

Delta Electronics will use Allied Material Technology (AMTC)'s 3.5" color-filter production line to produce e-paper panels. Delta decided not to build their own production line to save costs. They might lease the production line, or buy it.

Delta is using Bridgestone's technology to make the e-paper panels, and will also launch thier own e-reader in 3Q 2010. In the future they also plan to launch color e-paper displays.

Bridgestone are developing their own e-paper technology, and are now showing a color touch screen flexible e-book reader. The whole reader is actually bendable!

The display is large (13.1"), with 4,096 colors, and a refresh rate of about 0.8 seconds. The reader also includes wireless (cellular) connectivity. Bridgestones will produce samples early next year.

Bridgestone will being to make ePaper displays. They will give more details in a few weeks. The company develops their own ePaper, using  "electron powder and granular material."

Bridgetstone Pen Input ePaper prototype

The Bridgestone e-paper is suited for e-readers,it is A4 in size, and has a fast refresh rate - 0.8 seconds to refresh. This makes it possible to do pen-input touch ePaper devices.

The faster screen refresh speed was realized by changing the driving method, not by improving the e-paper material. Specifically, the pattern of applying voltage was optimized to "reduce waste," Bridgestone said.

The company will also offer a colored version of the e-paper by combining the black-and-white e-paper with an RGBW-type color filter based on a glass substrate.
