JDI Announces Development of World’s Highest Definition Electronic Paper Backplane

Japan Display Inc. (JDI) announced the development of the world’s highest resolution electronic paper (ePaper) backplane, the first collaborative development achievement since the announcement of the long-term strategic alliance with E Ink Holdings for ePaper business.
 
The new development by JDI achieves resolutions of 400ppi and 600ppi, with the newly designed built-in LTPS backplane. This will allow products using ePaper to have higher resolution, such as WXGA and FHD for displays, the same as high-end smartphones and high-quality printing.
 
JDI’s goal in developing its latest ePaper backplane is for ePaper to empower not only high resolution and battery-powered devices such as eBooks, smartphons and tablets, but also future devices for the Internet of Things (IoT).
 
ePaper modules with the built-in high definition LTPS backplane will be demonstrated in JDI’s booth at The Society of Information Display (SID) Display Week, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, May 23- 25, 2017, in Los Angeles, CA.
