Unboiled water of wind of field of electronic book market rises

The market that makes a field bannerly in the light of the electron according to the whole world studies company ISuppli predicts, 2009, the sales volume of reader of global electron book exceeds 5 million, increase 12 million possibly 2010. In-Stat of another research organization is forecasted, electronic book reader is relevant semiconductor component market, scale of 1.1 billion dollar will be attained 2013.

So far, kindle is market of electronic book reader all the time " big boss " . But, reader of other electron book also be dvd discovery best buy gins to cut a figure, for instance, japanese Suo Ni company rolled out a series of electronic book reader, rolled out a few new model recently.

Additional, according to the United States " wall street daily " report, ＆ Noble of the United States' biggest Barnes of chain substance bookshop will reveal the Nook of electronic book reader of oneself on October 20, desire with Kindle reader one relatively on any account. Although step the pace of market of electronic book reader,Biyamaxun and all alone Buddhist nun want evening a few, but Barnes ＆ Noble will rely on his giant hypostatic sale network and rich with each passing day online electron bookshop and competitor stand up to sb as an equal.

The United States is plastic and logistic (the time that the plastic electron paper that Plastic Logic) company announces plans to already had up to now nearly 4 years. On October 19, QUE ProReader of book of first plastic electron gives heat eventually, will be in next year the consumptive electron January is exhibited (be released on CES) and appear on the market subsequently.

QUE ProReader basically is aimed at business affairs user, offer WiFi and American telephoned telegram (the support of WCDMA 3G network of AT&T) company, have PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documentation to browse a function, support file government. Be worth what carry is, this product is outside traditional monochromatic screen, still raised the chromatic screen of small size in bottom, can hold fictitious clavier dog crates large breed concurrently to use.

Of QUE ProReader come out to let market of electronic book reader possibly enter a large number of heroes to develop simultaneously " times of the Warring States " , now, the manufacturer of portable computer and flat monitor flocks to this domain, also foreign media coverage says, american apple company (the electronic book reader that Apple) may roll out him January at next year.

Electronic paper technology outshines the rest

Current, the electronic book reader that exceeds 9 to become uses firm of American electron ink (the electronic paper of E Ink) demonstrates a skill. Electronic paper concept promotes the century on result 80 time around, be one kind comfortable at reading brand-new indication technology, have ultrathin and light, can bend, exceed feebleminded bad news to wait for a characteristic. Its will be taken, a lot of and black and white particle of negaive electricity is sealed inside Yu Wei capsule, differ because of the electric field that bring to bear on, gather in what monitor surface generation differs, present a black or white result, the exterior resembles the ink that writes on paper.

The president Sidifen Habai of branch of reader of number of Suo Ni company expresses, with liquid crystal indication photograph is compared, advantage of inky of this kind of electron is a province report, dog stairs do not hurt eye, specific power consumption low, do not need to carry illuminant on the back, can fall in sunshine read etc, but defect is rate of the response when turning over a page slow, cannot show chromatic picture or video are video.

E Ink company and its competitor, include summit of American SiPix(silicon) department of benefit of general of company, Japan is connected (display screen Bridgestone) in color of research and development. This technology needs what lay a color on black and white capsule to filter equipment, but difficulty is filtering at wanting to let equipment and its control the most popular selling dog crates large system are adequate small. Because filter,equipment can cut down capsule catoptric smooth, only enough small, ability ensures show the image that come out is so not as dry as a chip drab. plant lights

Sili Peiluwenba shows vice president of E Ink company, video is shown on E Ink indication screen video theoretic it is feasible, but the chemical part that needs to change indication hold, this company hopes to 2010 the end of the year breaks through these technical bottleneck.

We should watch video through electronic book reader video likelihood still needs period of time, nevertheless, a few kinds of new technologies that just cut a figure are in be eager for doing sth, challenge electronic paper technology control a position.

Each has his strong point of other indication technology

Habai expresses, technology of organic glow diode has certain development latent capacity, but its price is high, undertake very hard commercializing production.

American mobile phone connects a company high to also grind with wireless chip manufacturer gave out a kind the name is Milasuoer (the reflection type of Mirasol) demonstrates a skill, its advantage is to save report, color to show, can watch video and movie. Tell a company high card of · of Jim of vice president of development of wide cable business expresses on the west, the reader of book of full prize electron that its develop shows screen is 5.7 inches, like dog crates large dogs lihood 2010 second half of the year appears on the market. The rice before pulls Suo Er XGA(220ppi) to show screen is not full prize, but can broadcast video, the influence that pair of battery life use below sunshine also very little.

watch cases

In October 2008, the flat monitor Perfect Light that American new-style multimedia shows to the technology developed business Pixtronix company to roll out a money to exceed low power comsumption and freeboard dvd discovery character to experience, power comsumption of more traditional LCD dropped this product 75% , at the same time colour gamut, color is mixed greatly the perspective reachs a new height, can show video is video.

The ColorBright of reflection sex technology that the indication screen development that the name that company of general of Holand humble benefit establishs was mobile unit 2007 for the company of Liquavista went sex of a kind of innovation, because not be complete transmission technique, because this is dim no matter,the sunshine with bright sunshine still is inside the office, can provide clear picture, and power comsumption has similar measure liquid crystal to display screen only however very one of. Additional, colorBright has taller contrast, and do not need to be in a poor light, want to add corresponding dye on oily film only, can obtain wanted shade.

ColorBright and current liquid crystal screen have similar applied limits and capacity, can broadcast kinescope and complete colour video, also solved current monitor at the same time two big main underlying problem: Readability falls in bright light condition low, and high power is used up can make batteries very fast extinct. Nevertheless, concerned expert expresses, whether can be this product commercialized still remain to study further.

Liquid crystal displays screen or the most organic meeting replaces electronic paper

Habai expresses, the electronic reader of prospective ideal will include duration long, those who provide similar paper read experience, color, time turning over a page video of fast, support video, price is reasonable etc. Nevertheless, the technology that accords with these requirements completely has not come out up to now.

From the point of current condition, short-term internal energy has accepted number one position from inside E Ink hand quite, it is technology of liquid crystal indication screen. As industrial development, engineers improve a technology according to market demand ceaselessly, offer view bigger, more frivolous, can the product with more expensive effect, and, production material also has a breakthrough repeatedly.

Current, already one is based on liquid crystal to show electronic book reader of the technology comes out, that is the whole world that Japanese Fuji tells a company to release FLEPia of reader of book of first color electron.

FLEPia uses cholesterol liquid crystal to display screen, hold a soft face plate concurrently the character of light, thin, not easy disintegrate, highest can amount to 260 thousand kinds, at present light transmittance is made an appointment with 30% , organic meeting can achieve future 38% . Additional, cholesterol liquid crystal shows screen does not need to be in a poor light, produce very easily.

Although FLEPia holds a color and soft substrate concurrently the best selling dog stairs this two advantages that accord with demand of electronic book future greatly, but at present the price is as high as nearly 100 thousand yen (be equivalent to 1000 dollars) , fa the most popular selling dvd discovery il to achieve popularize the standard that change. In addition, it also cannot show chromatic video is video, light transmittance still wants promotion. Accordingly, although its technology is quite seductive, a lot of industry public figures still support wait-and-see attitude.

The Gu Pusen of collect · of · of Li of Ma of the person that establish of Pixel Qi company also thinks liquid crystal shows a technology to there is the space that can improve in the respect such as standard production methods and raw material. This company research and development gave a new indication hold, had applied on the portable computer of low cost at present. It is the indication technology of double mode of book of electron of ／ of a kind of liquid crystal, can section report 80% . This company predicts this year the end of th dog crates large e year begins a quantity to produce 10 inches screen, target lock is in surely small-sized notebook computer, get online this and reader market.

Additional, malic company and company of Hua Shuo of portable computer manufacturer also are based on liquid crystal to show electronic reader of the technology in research and development.

The Nook extraordinary of Suo Ni company, technology of paper of electron of its be in harmony and liquid crystal demonstrate a skill at a suit: Its electron paper shows screen is used at text to read, and the screen of chromatic liquid crystal that the support with smaller lower part touchs at many o'clock is used at navigation, can show the chromatic the title page of a thread-bound book that reads a book, also can show other content, change even a fictitious clavier, facilitating user is held accuse. When the user need not when, can shut automatically with managing electric energy. Nook quotes at present is 260 dollars, but should arrive the earliest to just can appear on the market formally on January 15 next year, its are behaved how, and let our wait and see what happens.
