LG.Philips LCD has today announced they'll soon introduce the world's highest resolution 14.3 inch flexible color e-paper display at the Consumer Electronics Show this year in Las Vegas.

Last year, the company teased gadget aficionados with the 14.1-inch page made exclusively from "metal foil and plastic substrates rather than glass" that could only deliver 4,096 colors. This time, they've come up with a 14.3 inch model (equivalent to a A4 sheet of paper) that boasts an unbelievable resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and 16.7 million colors.

The best thing with this displays is that they're energy efficient, sucking power only when the images change. Not to mention the displays are said to be extremely thin, at less than 300 micrometers. Just imagine the cool wallpapers you could have.

"Our new 14.3-inch flexible color display is nearly the equivalent size of an A4 size paper, but you can roll it up and take it with you. The reflective foil substrate is as easy to read as a printed sheet of paper and can be used in a number of applications like electronic textbooks and smart ID cards, where picture quality is as important as durability and portability," Mr. In-Jae Chung, LG.Philips LCD's chief technology officer and executive vice president, explained.

According to the press release, LG.Philips LCD will also unveil the highest resolution mono flexible E-paper which is similar in size to a B5 size paper and it plans to launch this mono flexible E-paper in 2008.
