The Sony e-Ink Notepad prototype weighs 358 g and measures just 6.8mm thick, and is equipped with an e-Ink display offering a resolution of1200x1600 pixels. Sony explains a little more at the Educational IT Solutions Expo in Japan:
“We’ve succeeded in mass-producing these large flexible panels, by combining E-Ink’s flexible paper technology and Sony’s mass-production technology.”
“Usually, devices are made by sandwiching TFTs between glass sheets. But these panels use plastic instead of glass, so they’re much lighter. Another feature is that, unlike glass, these panels are very durable.”
Unfortunately no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet, but as soon as information comes to light we will keep you updated as always.
