Intel and Plastic Logic Unveil revolutionary e-Paper Tablet PaperTab at CES 2013!

A team at Canada’s Queen’s University is working, in collaboration with Intel Labs and Plastic Logic, into development of a flexible touchscreen computer.

Dubbed PaperTab – the tablet is a thin, interactive, flexible, high-resolution 10.7-inch plastic display that looks and feels just like a sheet of paper – slim and sleek!

The concept design prototypes were unveiled at the CES 2013.

PaperTab will be powered by Intel’s second-generation Intel Core i5 processor. “Instead of using several apps or windows on a single display, users have ten or more interactive displays or PaperTabs: one per app in use,” explains Ryan Brotman, a research scientist at Intel.

Using this user can also combine several PaperTabs  placing them side by side creating a bigger display, or share files by touching one tablet to another! Watch the video –

According to the company, the PaperTab can also file and display thousands of paper documents, replacing the need for a computer monitor and stacks of papers or printouts – a 100-page document would be one PaperTab!

Will it replace paper? Is it going green for the future?!
