Taking electronic paper technology one step ahead, E Ink is all set to introduce E Ink Vixplex Imaging Film for the outer display in future clamshell handsets. Since e-ink only consumes power when the image changes, the technology can help cellphone makers enhance their exterior display screens without cutting down on battery life. The first two handsets that are set to get revolutionary technology are the Hitachi W61 and the Casio Model G’zOne. Clearly visible even under direct sunlight, the displays give the user a viewing angle of up to 180-degrees. For people who love to personalize their phones, this could be a real boon.
