Cambridge-based Plastic Logic and the US 'smart paper' Gyricon Media have demonstrated a display driven by an inkjet-printed active polymer matrix.

The 63 x 48pixel device used a glass substrate, but Plastic Logic spokesman Cranch Lamble said the company hopes to progress to flexible material. Gyricon was spun off from Xerox's famous Parc lab to develop smart paper formed by polymer beads in oil sandwiched between plastic sheets. Early applications have been in large signs.

But the bistable displays, which do not require power to retain an image, could be used eventually for electronic books and PDAs.
