LG to Introduce eReader; nook In Stock at Barnes & Noble Stores 1 comment
The Emirates Business 24/7 (via E-Reader-info) quotes LG’s CEO of the Middle Eastern and African region, KW Kim as saying that LG plans to “launch a new product, maybe by April. It will compete with Apple and Amazon."
No additional details were given, except that the new ereader will be released in the Middle East and Africa. LG Display is making the metal-based flexible displays for the Skiff ereader and has also demonstrated a large format flexible screen prototype meant for reading periodicals and tabloids.

LG Display Shows Tabloid-Sized Flexible ePaper no comments
Korean company LG Display revealed a much larger epaper panel based on the
same TFTs on metal foil technology as that used in the Skiff ereader.
LG says that the 25cm x 40cm screen is the largest epaper display yet produced. The display is only .03mm thick, which is much thinner than other types of current ereader screens.
This type of large flexible display could potentially be used as a replacement for dead-tree newspapers and could be updated on the go and possibly even display video and multimedia.
LG plans to have 11.5-inch flexible epaper screens in mass production within the next few months. So far no pricing has been announced for the new screens.
