Sony showed flexible E-Ink panels on which you can write like on paper
The Japanese showed a really interesting device that differs from most analogs in its physical characteristics - a flexible panel on electronic ink, which can be written with a special stylus almost like on paper.
The shown prototype of the future device has dimensions similar to the A4 format (i.e. 210x297 mm), weighs 358 grams and has a thickness of 6.8 mm; the display resolution is 1200x1600 pixels. The technology is based on Sony's proprietary flexible e-paper technology, which is achieved by installing the screen not in glass panels, but in flexible transparent plastic, which automatically removes another drawback of conventional tablets — the fragility of the display.
But - most importantly - with the help of a special stylus on the device, you can also write as you would on ordinary paper with an ordinary pen (in the sense of a course of action, of course); The screen resolution allows you to see what is written quite clearly, you can evaluate it on video under the cut. The device filters out false positives according to a simple principle - if the lower part of the palm is touched to the screen with a pad, the device considers that it is necessary to process only the touch of the stylus. Otherwise, all the advantages of the touch screen, of course, are preserved. With the autonomy of the device, too, everything is fine - it is indicated that the battery is capable of supporting its operation for three weeks.

Sony is planning a commercial release of its development during this year. Regarding the price, nothing definite is known yet, but one can quite safely see that the borderline of the convenience of using electronic paper has indeed been reached. Take a look at how the device works - the writing process is shown in close-up - can be on the video under the cut.
