Samsung Shows Off World's First Carbon-Nanotube Based Display


The color active matrix electrophoretic display (EPD) e-paper was released at a conference in Korea.
It's 14.3 inch display is the product of a partnership between Samsung and Unidym, the company that developed the carbon nanotubes used by the device.
The new display has a variety of advantages over traditional flat panels. Since the EPD doesn’t require backlighting, it uses minimal energy and is visible under direct sunlight. Additionally, the image on the display is retained without the need to constantly refresh.

The EPD isn’t just limited to e-paper devices— it’s also a low-energy display option for cell phones and other mobile devices.
