Wistron to release e-book reader with a flexible screen in 2010

Thursday, November 12, 2009

The rumor that the company Wistron is developing devices for reading books on the basis of flexible electronic paper was confirmed. Resource DigiTimes, referring to the charge of planning production company Wistron Brian Chong (Brian Chong), reports that the company really soon release a similar model. The basis of 5-and 6-inch versions will be based on samples of displays, the company received from Polymer Vision.



Mr. Chong said that the device will be close to production models Readius Polymer Vision. These devices are similar to the size of plastic credit cards, and flexible display will "stretch" from the inside. Such a structure imposes several restrictions on the ability of the screen. In addition it is not clear whether the model Wistron have support for wireless connections, while Polymer Vision had a prototype module Wi-Fi, and most of the latest e-book reader has not only Wi-Fi, and support networks of 3G.

The official announcement of devices for reading books on the basis of flexible electronic paper from Wistron will be held later, but they do sell in 2010. On the possible cost while also not reported.
