Camera Phones Plaza

As the time passes by, more and more unbelievable concept products become reality. There’s nothing that the human mind can’t conceive, with its tremendous force and ambition. And if you thought that a concept phone made of e-paper is something that one can only gets to see in a science-fiction movie, then allow me to disagree. Such a device is so close to become a dream come true, that it might be presented at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), a trade show that will be held in January 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Being sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association, the show will not be open to the public. Unfortunately for those who wanted to become acquainted with the latest innovations.



The concept phone that you can see in the picture above was designed and developed by Seymour Powell, a well known design studio, and it’s based on a technology that was created by Liquavista, an innovation company that is based in several countries like Netherlands, United Kingdom and Hong Kong. The phone uses a full color flexible e-paper, the result of the Liquavista Technology that has as a starting point the principle of Electrowetting. The main advantages of the e-paper displays are the fact that they are between two and six times as bright as a LCD, they are a whole lot brighter and more colorful.



Therefore, the device displays the information you need in colors, and you don’t have to do anything, meaning you don’t have to flip it open. The technology is far from being in its final stage. There are still many researches to be made. Nevertheless, there are very good chances for us to see such concept phones at CES, in January. This would be a very important step when it comes to mobile phone displays, as electronic paper is said to be the future of this domain.

You’ll have to wait a little bit longer for an e-paper-based concept phone to be released on the market, but it seems that the Liquavista Technology has what it takes to give people what they’ve been promised for so long.
