The South Korean tech giant LG recently unveil its latest invention – flexible e-paper which resembles the traditional newspaper. The device could save tons of paper, wastewater and considerably cut carbon emissions.
LG presented a model that has a 19-inch screen and is just 0.3mm thick, which is equivalent to five sheets of paper. The device weights 130 grams and is different from other e-readers due to the fact that it features a new technology that allows it to bend and return to its initial shape. Because of the resemblance to the traditional newspaper, the company expects high demand for its invention.
