LONDON ? A Royal Philips Electronics spin-off company has developed a wirelessly-connected ?electronic reader? tablet based on a high-contrast “electronic paper” display technology from E Ink Corp.
The spin-off, iRex Technologies BV (Eindhoven, the Netherlands), claims that its wireless e-reader can be viewed outdoors in sunshine or shadow. The e-reader allows users to write comments, mark or underline sections to provide a paper-like experience, the company claimed.
