Fujitsu’s e-reader is based on “FLEPia” technology from Fujitsu Frontera that incorporates the color screen with a wireless data management system. And that screen is about as large as the average magazine page.
The FLEPia is a full sunlight-visible e-ink device, capable of displaying greyscale and color imagery (with 260,000 colors) on its 8-inch touchscreen, which has 1024 x 768-pixel resolution. There’s an SD memory card slot, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR and it can run for 40 hours from a single charge. It runs Windows CE 5.0, so it can be used for reading e-books, browsing the web, emailing, reading Word, Excel and Powerpoint files, PDFs, TXT files, and JPEG imagery–that means it can also be set into digital picture frame mode.

After removing just about everything but the shell he built a steel frame and mounted a 150 cc engine pulled from an ATV. Then he added lights, mirrors, wipers and, of course, a wind-up key. The flames are a nice touch, and the blower sticking through the hood seems to make a mockery of the wind up key in the rear of the car, but it does seem like the perfect touch for a car that opens like a funny car. Believe it or not, the car is even street legal.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have given new meaning to the term flexibility in the context of displays. They’ve developed of a stretchable display connected by organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic transistors with a new highly-elastic conductor. The rubbery display, pictured here, can be stretched to 50% of its normal size, folded in half or crumpled up without incurring any damage, and can also cover complex three-dimensional objects. The technology can lead to displays and simple computers that you can wear on your sleeve, or wrap around your couch, or even serve as artificial skin for robots or prosthetic limbs. Source: ZDNet |
