Fujitsu To ePaper The World

Back in July, PSFK reported on Fujitsu’s development of ePaper. Today, the UK Times runs an article about the Japanese company’s plans to use ePaper in eveything:

If Fujitsu is right, and the world pulps the
flat, white stuff and switches to its patented “e-paper”, a wafer-thin
film of plastic that can slip easily into a handbag or briefcase will
“turn” each new page at the push of a button.

In the brave new world envisaged by Fujitsu, flexible e-paper will
appear everywhere from advertising hoardings to price tags in
supermarkets. E-paper scrolls will unfurl from the backs of mobile phones to
form large screens for viewing websites and reading maps. Fridge doors
coated in e-paper could deliver downloads of recipes or traffic
updates. Almost any level surface, in fact, could become an e-paper
billboard.
