E-PAPER TABLETS

A team consisting of Queen’s University’s Human Media Lab, Intel and Plastic logic has found their way to the techno-idea of “E-PAPER TABLETS”. These groups came together and created a super-thin, super-flexible high resolution display that has revolutionized the way we look at tablets. As thin and as flexible as paper, the technology is known as Paper Tab.

The Paper Tab tablet looks and feels just like a sheet of paper. However, it is fully interactive with a flexible, high-resolution 10.7″ plastic display developed by Plastic Logic, a flexible touch screen, and powered by the second generation Intel® Core i5 processor. Instead of using several apps or windows on a single display, users have ten or more interactive displays or “paper tabs”: one per app in use.
But the technology is still in its infancy, soon a streamlined and sensible method of use will emerge to make these futuristic, flexible tablets just as simple to use as the bigger, heavier ones we carry around now.
