Fujitsu explores the potential of e-paper

Fujitsu, together with SoftBank Telecom and the Mainichi Newspapers publishing house, are testing the possibilities of using electronic paper in information terminals.


For this, one of the popular Tokyo restaurants - Termina Kinshicho Fujiya Restaurant - has four FLEPia terminals with a display of colored e-paper and Wi-Fi (to connect to the server). Using FLEPia, visitors can view the latest issues of the Mainichi Shogakusei Shimbun newspaper, advertisements, train schedule and weather forecast.

Since the information LCD panels in bourgeois taverns are not unusual, the initiative to test the terminals made using less energy-consuming electronic paper is even justified. And this will allow not only to save on kilowatts per hour, but simply more convenient: you do not need to conduct electricity to the tables on which these terminals are installed, which is the case with LCD panels.
