Sony's Revolutionary Electronic Paper (3 pics)

Is this young girl just looking at an old calendar? Not exactly. She's actually checking out Sony's never before seen prototype of its flexible electronic paper display technology. Showcased at the 2010 Dealer Convention, the electronic paper gives us a glimpse into the future because it uses plastic substate, a new technology that allows it to be bent and rolled up like an actual newspaper.

Sony Insider believes that this highly advanced concept could be available within the next year or two. What could this mean for the whole newspaper industry?

Comment by IanJ on September 19, 2010 at 5:28am: I've been keeping an eye on this for a while now. I'm not sure how it will really end up being utilized in the end but does offer some interesting potential.

Comment by Mia Hood on September 19, 2010 at 5:22am: that would be amazing, and save paper, but it would all depend on the cost.
