Even if it looks as an electronic paper terminal, it is thin in a fluent manner, there are no problems with some bending, if you stack two sheets you can copy what you see on one side to the other side or you can extend the display area seamlessly by side by side The tablet (electronic paper tablet) is "PaperTab". It is developed by the Queen's University Human Media Lab, and actual use example movies are uploaded to YouTube, but it seems that one "near future" technology has become a reality.

PaperTab: Revolutionary paper tablet reveals future tablets to be thin and flexible as paper. - YouTube


This is PaperTab. Looking from this angle it looks like an ordinary tablet ... ...


Looking from the side like this. Is the design slightly changed?


Thinking about, it's almost zero thickness, it's exactly "electronic paper".


As you brought another PaperTab next to it, the display area expanded as if it were a dual display.


It seems that it does not mean that it can connect infinitely to anywhere.


What kind of performance is the tablet ... ...



I just showed Dresden on Google Maps. Because it is black-and-white, it may be hard to see fine details like a map.


Demonstration that I actually used at work


PaperTab not displaying anything yet on top of PaperTab ....


Suzu and its contents were copied


Even if it bends casually it's okay


The operation to push the corner part of the body obliquely or to bend it in front is page feed and page back.



Of course there is no problem moving objects beyond the two PaperTabs.


Here is the PaperTab on the bottom showing the mailbox's inbox, and I started replying to it with the above PaperTab. It is like touching the link of the browser as "opening with a new PaperTab".


Writing a reply here ...


I superimposed PaperTab which displayed another picture separately. With this, I was able to attach a photo to the reply.


Finally, if you overlap another PaperTab that is labeled "Outbox", the reply is completed.


This terminal was developed jointly with Queen's University Intel, Plastic Logic which is developing electronic paper display development, CPU is Intel's Core i 5, display is Plastic Logic's 10.7 inch press display.

In the movie "Avatar", there was a scene to move the chart which was looking at the tablet in hand to the window of the patient room with a finger, but there is a scene in which similar things can be done in the reality before it is so far It may become.
