I really like Phillips and their technological breakthroughs. Philips Research has developed a new color e-paper technology that could allow you to change the color of a gadget with the push of a button. Gone will be those days where in you have lets say a Pink iPod and want it black, imagine having to buy 2 gadgets, just for the color!
The new concept allows you to change colors of your electronic gadgets with a touch of a button. This technology also offers more than 1 million colors to choose from, could be applied to e-book readers, as well as on walls inside the home or on the exterior of gadgets allowing you to change the color of your Watch or Mp3 Player to match what you’re wearing!
It looks a lot like conventional paper, but can generate color using ambient light for rendition, like conventional paint. The benefits of Philips’ new “e-skin” tech are many: its color is vibrant, even in bright outdoor conditions; it can be transparent; colors can be precisely tuned; and the technology is relatively inexpensive. color, color e-paper, color epaper, ColorE-paper, ColorEpaper, e paper, e skin, e-paper, e-skin, e-wallpaper, electronic skin, ElectronicSkin, electrophoresis, electrophoretic, epaper, eskin, in-plane electrophoresis, In-planeElectrophoresis, philips, philips research, PhilipsResearch
“The first applications using the technology could be e-skins for small devices such as MP3 players or cell phones…the technology is highly scalable,” said Kars-Michiel Lenssen, principal scientist at Philips Research, in a statement.
Lenssen said the technology could be used where LEDs or OLEDs aren’t preferred, such as in low-power portable devices, or for a more subtle color application.
if only this technology had come by earlier :\
You have lost the iPod already
