04.04.2008LG.Philips LCD unrolls 14-inch color e-paper display
South Korea's LG.Philips LCD is out to impress at next week's Consumer Electronics Show and will unveil a 14.3-inch color electronic paper
display.
The display, which is about the same size as an A4-sheet of paper, has a resolution of 1,280 pixels by 800 pixels and
can display 16.7-million colors, LG.Philips LCD said Thursday. That makes it the highest resolution screen of its type yet developed, the company
said, and is an advance on a display unveiled in May last year that offered just 4,096 colors.
Electronic paper is being pursued
by many companies as a future replacement for paper. The screens are often produced on a flexible substrate so they can bend, unlike conventional LCD
(liquid crystal display) panels that are made on glass. But the amount by which they can be bent without causing damage to the screen widely varies
between prototypes, and there are still no displays that can be folded like a sheet of paper.

26.05.2007Windows Server 2008: Understanding XML Paper Specification (XPS)
It's Day Nine of our Windows Server 2008 series. We're one-third of the way through our series. Today we will continue on with our look at
printing in Windows Server 2008. Our topic today - XML Paper Specification (XPS) Support.
The XML Paper Specification (XPS)
defines an open document format that uses Extensible Markup Language (XML) to create a document format that is platform-independent, openly-published
and royalty-free. The XPS format consists of XML markup that defines the composition of a document and visual appearance of each page along with
rendering rules for displaying or printing the document. XPS Support in Windows Server 2008 provides a new foundation for applications that are based
on the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) graphics subsystem that was introduced in Windows Vista. XPS Support enhances the print architecture of
Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 by improving print fidelity and performance while retaining support for the GDI-based print subsystem used in
previous version of Windows.

07.06.2007Dane-Elec ZPen Review & Competition
These days, more and more gadgets are being released to try and help make life easier. People and businesses are moving away from using paper based
products, and everything is digitised. But for those of us that sit around in meetings day in, day out, a pen and paper is absolutely essential if you
want to make a decent amount of notes as to what is going on. And you can guarantee someone else is going to want copies as well! The task of writing
up those written notes is probably one of the mosted hated out there. Students who attend lectures sit with laptops in front of them instead of
keeping a pen and paper because writing up the notes afterwards is a royal pain.
There are several companies out there that have cottoned
on to this fact, and have released "Digitising Pens" that record movements on a piece of paper and help you record electronic copies of your notes -
and the DaneElec Z-Pen is the latest in this range of gadgets. Neowin has been lucky enough to secure a unit for review.

18.07.2008Student Develops Paper Capable of 450GB of Storage
According to a report from the
Arab News, a university
technology student named
Sainul Abideen has invented a
method of storing massive
amounts of digital data on a
plain piece of paper that he
claims could store many times
the capacity of the best
Blu-ray or HD-DVD discs. In
fact, Abideen says that his
Rainbow technology can enable
him to store up to 450GB on a
piece of paper. As far as a
real life demonstration of a
450GB paper goes, the
technology still needs
development.
Abideen claims that that his
Rainbow system is better than
a binary storage because
instead of using ones and
zeros to represent data,
Abideen uses geometric shapes
such as squares and hexagons
to represent data patterns.
Color is also used in the
system to represent other data
elements. According to
Abideen, all that's required
to read the Rainbow prints is
a scanner and specialized
software.
The
reporter at Arab News claims
to have seen 450 pages of
fully printed foolscap being
stored on a 4-square inch
piece of Rainbow paper. The
reporter also claimed that he
was shown a 45-second video
clip that was stored using the
Rainbow system on a plain
piece of paper. Interestingly,
45-seconds of video isn't a
lot, and if the Rainbow system
can store up to 450GB, then we
need to be watching full
length high-definition videos
from a piece of paper.

25.11.2006Putting power on paper: researchers create thin battery
US researchers said Monday
that they have invented a
super lightweight, flexible,
biodegradable battery in the
form of a piece of paper in a
development that is sure to
create a buzz among makers of
consumer electronics.
By harnessing the
power of nanotechnology among
other things, the researchers
figured out how to shrink,
reinvent and otherwise
repackage the components of a
regular lithium-ion battery in
a sheet of cellulose paper.
An early
prototype of the device, just
big enough to be held between
thumb and forefinger, kicks
out 2.5 volts, enough juice to
power a small fan, or
illuminate a light, and its
inventors say the battery can
be easily scaled up to provide
enough power to run any number
of electronic gadgets.
"You can
stack one sheet on top of
another to boost the power
output," said Robert
Linhardt, a biology and
chemistry professor at
Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute in Troy, New York,
and a member of the project's
team...

14.08.2007Paper Battery Offers Future Power
Flexible paper batteries could
meet the energy demands of the
next generation of gadgets,
says a team of researchers.
They have produced a sample
slightly larger than a postage
stamp that can release about
2.3 volts, enough to
illuminate a small light. But
the ambition is to produce
reams of paper that could one
day power a car. Professor
Robert Linhardt, of the
Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute, said the paper
battery was a glimpse into the
future of power storage.
The team behind the
versatile paper, which stores
energy like a conventional
battery, says it can also
double as a capacitor capable
of releasing sudden energy
bursts for high-power
applications. While a
conventional battery contains
a number of separate
components, the paper battery
integrates all of the battery
components in a single
structure, making it more
energy efficient.

15.08.2007The future of e-paper: The Kindle is only the beginning
Amazon.com Inc.'s
Kindle
has turned a long underperforming category of tech gadget -- e-book readers -- into an overnight hit, and in the process has boosted interest in
electronic paper display (EPD) technology. The Kindle and its rival, the
Sony Reader 505, both boast e-paper displays that look unnervingly like printed pages and consume next to no power. However,
today's EPDs -- and today's e-book readers -- are only the beginning.
EPD technology has been a long time coming. The idea of
e-paper, a data display that looks and works like a sheet of paper, has been around for decades. In theory, such a screen could be "printed"
electronically, would hold its contents without consuming power, could be viewed using reflected light (rather than the backlight required for LCD
screens), and could be "erased" and "rewritten" as often as desired.
