Philips and E Ink have unveiled a new paper-like display prorotype at the Society for Information Display (SID) show, boasting higher resolution than anything seen before.
E Ink and Philips unveiled their latest joint prototypes at this year's Society for Information Display Exposition and Symposium in Baltimore, Maryland. The engineering samples of the electronic ink displays, developed for a lead customer, are representative of the first high-resolution display products using commercial-grade components, according to thw two companies.

The display features a resolution at 160 pixels per inch (ppi), which is significantly higher than anything demonstrated previously. Enabled by continued improvement in E Ink's electronic ink display material and Philips' custom designed thin-film-transistor (TFT) backplane and driver electronics, the new displays are a result of the collaboration between the two companies that have been ongoing since early in 2001.
E Ink and Philips expect to be the first to commercialize true paper-like displays using electronic ink technology with mass production of electronic ink modules for a lead customer in early 2004, with broad commercial availability following later that year.
