This year, smartphone manufacturers are actively exploring the market for devices with a flexible display. Such companies as Samsung, Huawei, Motorola, and Flexpai have released smartphones with flexible OLED screens, which are already available to consumers. However, flexible devices are not only available for OLED displays.
E Ink Corporation, a pioneer among e-ink display manufacturers, has been working on a flexible display for several years starting in 2017, and showed an updated 10.3-inch monochrome ePaper display at a recent exhibition in Japan.
It is noteworthy that the company’s previous development in the field of flexible displays, which was presented in 2017, had a diagonal of 10.2 inches. At first glance, the only enhancement to the new flexible display with e-ink technology was the addition of backlighting for comfortable reading in low light conditions.
E Ink’s flexible display can be used not only in e-books, but also in e-ink laptops, e-newspapers and e-bulletin boards. However, any mobile device manufacturer has not announced plans of using E Ink Flexible Display yet.
