Samsung's New Carbon Nanotube Color E-Paper

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the in-living-color dept.

Iddo Genuth writes to tell us that Samsung and Unidym have shown the world's first carbon nanotube-based color e-paper. Interestingly, the new film is electrically conductive while remaining almost completely translucent and only 50 nanometers thick. "The company also mentions that the EPD [electrophoretic displays] has important advantages over conventional flat panel displays. EPDs have very low power consumption and bright light readability, which means that even under bright lights or sunlight, the user would be able to view the display clearly. Furthermore, since the device uses the thin CNT films, applications can include e-paper and displays with thin, flexible substrates. Power consumption is lowered due to the EPD's ability to reflect light and therefore able to preserve text or images on the display without frequently refreshing."

      Speaking of pants, have you ever watched Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers?

      Notice that the males don't wear pants(their dongs must be obscured by the fur) but the females have to? Why is that?

      Gadget became obsessed with Gadget: I first met Gadget when I was in grade school. Nerdy yet attractive women were largely unheard-of at the time, especially at that level when the dykes' sexualities haven't yet manifested themselves and my nuts weren't dropped. God! That jumpsuit and those breasts.

      I spent many a Disney afternoon jacking off to that kind and compassionate, beautifully lucid woman. Eventually I became frustrated at the fact that I could not fuck a cartoon, much less marry one. To this day, I have found no woman who lives up to that ideal. Not even my mother, who is sucking my dick right now. Hold on, I have to get her a towel.

      Yes, moderate me off-topic because any mention of a space elevator in a CNT thread is completely irrelevant. . .

    ...lit e-reader, and eventually an ambiently lit 'e-painting' that looks just like the real thing but I can change it as often as I want.

    What the hell is up with this "http://slashdot.org/index2.pl", It is hanging my whole system for 3 seconds just for some lame heavily scripted web2.0-ness?! I want the old slashdot back! Help me tag it (which now suck though) 'slashdotsucks'!
