Today E Ink andSeiko Epsonhave announced a joint venture that will create a 300-dpielectronic paperdevice for ePaper document readers. This will represent a fusion of Epson's high-speed display controller platform and E Ink'shigh-resolutionePaper display. The combination of these systems has the potential to create the highest-resolution E-ink system on the market.
The machine, which will have a display size of 9.68 inches on the diagonal, with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,650. This translates to roughly 3.96 million pixels on the display screen. The screen will, as all E-ink devices do, have a thin body and a glare free screen with a very lowpower consumptionrate.
Epson will manufacture and sell the E-ink devices, though there has yet to be any word about when the system will be in use or how much the devices will cost. We do know that Epson is going to target the devices to business and educational users where the higher resolution of the screens is not just appreciated but necessary in order to process some of the types of data collected.
