TechOn: Combine Bridgestone’s pro­pri­etary elec­tronic pow­der, gran­u­lar mate­r­ial, color fil­ter and Wacom’s elec­tro­mag­netic induc­tion type pen input tablet and add a bit of nice prod­uct design and what do you get? A 13″ color e-paper dis­play that looks awesome!

That pro­pri­etary pow­der, mate­r­ial and color fil­ter is offi­cially called QR-LPD. And that stands for Quick Response Liquid Powder Display. And the 13″ e-paper dis­play is def­i­nitely quick tak­ing just 0.8 sec­onds to refresh the screen. That’s much bet­ter than the last one from the com­pany that took an eter­nity: 10-15 seconds.

To get touch to work you need fairly quick response and that’s exactly what Bridgestone did. By using the Wacom dig­i­tizer you can draw on it, make notes on it, etc. Very nice. Check out the short video to see how it actu­ally per­forms (quite well!).
