LG is going to hit the market with its futuristic e-book reader. It has solar panels, which provides an extra 4-5 hours after the sun. The panels are 0.7mm thick and weighing around 20 grams. It has 6 inch TFT LCD display screen.
Mr. Ki Yong Kim, head of the Solar Cell Office at LG Display says…
eBbooks are attracting a lot of attention because they offer the advantage of storing thousands of books’ worth of contents in an easy-to-carry device. The idea of e-book combined with solar cell will offer users the added benefit of longer usage. We will continue to provide users with enhanced convenience and value to solidify our lead in next-generation, environmentally friendly products.
LG is working towards increasing its solar cell energy conversion efficiency rate to 12% by 2010 and up to 14% by 2012. LG Solar Cell e- book’s release date and price is not clear but we are sure that we will be hearing about it soon.
