NEC is expected to showcase its new A3 and A4 size E-paper displays during the FPD International 2008 this end of October in Japan. Compared to conventional newspapers, the e-papers exhibit higher visibility and have a 43 percent white reflectivity with a 10:1 contrast ratio. Aside from the possibility of becoming a reusable newspaper, these e-paper modules can be used to form larger displays. They could be interconnected since they have frames measuring but a mere 1mm.
Formed into larger displays, the e-paper modules could utilize NEC's multi-tiling controller to show multiple tiles. The e-paper modules don't need backlighting because they utilize ambient light. Additionally, the screens can maintain the display without energy input until you want to change what's on the screen, adding to e-paper's energy efficiency and low-power consumption feature.
