Japan Display (JDI) has developed the world's highest resolution electronic paper (ePaper) backplane, the first collaborative development achievement since the announcement of the company's alliance with E Ink Holdings for ePaper business.

ePaper is a reflective display with visual qualities equivalent to traditional paper and the benefit of electronic updates. ePaper has a wide viewing angle, low power consumption, and displays vivid images even in bright sunlight.

The new development by JDI achieves resolutions of 400ppi and 600ppi, using the newly-designed built-in LTPS backplane. This will allow products using ePaper to offer higher resolutions up to WXGA.

JDI's goal in developing its latest ePaper backplane is to position the ePaper as a good display solution for IoT devices.

ePaper modules with the built-in high definition LTPS backplane will be demonstrated in JDI's booth at The Society of Information Display (SID) "Display Week".
