Back in the 90’s, a flexible electronic newspaper was often thought to be the ideal product of the digital age. It is now not so far away.

Fujitsu is currently in test marketing and practical use testing for its flexible colour electronic films. Its applications are initially targeted at areas such as transport advertising and shelf displays.

The display doesn’t need power when displaying the same image. This makes it ideal as a portable device and is just the beginning of a new revolution in small portable gadgets. The true electronic newspaper is not so far away.
