Sharp showcases e-ink displays to the electronic industry
High Resolution LCD graphic Displays made with E Ink's electronic ink material have a number of reliable payback benefits over the existing technologies. Commonly referred to as Electronic Paper Displays, these displays are highly reflective in nature and can be easily read in bright sunlight and even in dimly lit environments while being able to be seen at virtually any angle - just like good old paper.
The black and white ink-on-paper look, combined with a high graphical resolution in access to most portable devices at approximately 170 pixels per inch (PPI), gives an appearance analogous to that of the most widely read material on the planet - 'the news paper'. Since this resolution uses power only when an image is changed, E Ink High Resolution Displays have extended battery life over other types of extended high clearity displays. The unique technology also results in a compressed and lightweight form factor allowing it to be a 'superlative' for highly advanced portable applications. Sharp campaigns to start selling the sticker on the 25th, and will charge 2,000 yen ($16.61 US) for a 2-inch version, while the 3-inch display goes for 2,300 yen ($19.11 US)

its immense applications will contribute to incarcerate every display equipment one would see on the planet...
