A new innovation has been made possible with amalgamation of new technologies. The marriage here is of a 3G phone with a Rollable display technology. We have been hearing for sometime about the polymer displays that can be folded. Now a firm called Polymer Vision has done it. Polymer Vision is a Dutch Company in which Philips has 25% stake. The new product on the anvil is a 3G phone with e-book reader and 5 inch screen and is likely to be available this year. The new device will be called Readius, a 3G mobile phone with a 5 inch display that folds into the device when not in use. The use of Rollable Screen, which involves a display that can literally be rolled up to fit into the device, makes it an innovative device.
The big 5" screen will be used as a E-Book Reader and will use the E-Ink material for its display. This is the same material as used by Amazon Kindle, a reader introduced last year by Amazon.com but has no phone function
ality. E-ink material looks and like paper including the reflective properties. Thus it provides a very realistic feel to reading. This makes it a superior display for reading pleasure. It's also capable of retaining an image without requiring any electricity, resulting in devices that are more energy efficient than those using conventional LCD displays. Polymer Vision has announced that the Readius will be available some time near the middle of 2008. There is no price announcement however.
