Production of e-paper takes off

Plastic Logic (UK) announced yesterday that it will build its first plant to produce displays for e-paper. These flexible active-matrix displays that are thin, light and robust will be at the heart of new readers. The production at the plant in Dresden (Germany) is starting in 2008. People do not want the bulk and weight of paper, they have become more environment conscious and because the reading experience on laptops and PDA's is not optimal Plastic Logic is expecting a great future for e-paper. The market for this new product category is expected to count 41,6 million units in 2010.
