Ok so it’s not
that often I get excited about plastic. I have boxes of boxes of my kids toys in
storage waiting for the right moment to
sneak them off to the dump without them noticing that missing dolls arm. However today sees Plastic Logic unveiling it’ s latest
concept design at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2013) in Las Vegas (NV),
USA.
A prototype of the PaperTab has
been produced by researchers from Cambridge
University's Cavendish Laboratory. Plastic Logic has assembled a world class team
of plastic electronics experts, and has generated an extensive IP portfolio and
finally gets to show off today what it has no doubt spent a lot of time and
money developing.
The future of Ipads and other tablet
computers is finally here as well as a whole host of other innovative products
to come I’m sure. Think Harry Potter newspapers. Different PaperTabs could
transfer documents or images simply by touching each other.
The
ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight, flexible plastic displays have the same quality
and user experience as paper, except they are also rugged and durable! This
offers the prospect of true paper replacement. These flexible displays open up the possibility of
developing a wide range of novel applications, which are not possible with
common glass-based displays.
