First, LG said that by the end of this year, the company expects "to commence mass-production of 19-inch flexible e-papers and 9.7-inch color e-papers." (See left) LG has been experimenting with flexible e-paper technology for a couple years now, with the largest to date at 19 inches. The technology basically allows for the reproduction of say, a newspaper, on a thin, flexible digital sheet.
Second, in 2009 and 2010, LG entered into long-term supply agreements with Apple Inc. to supply display panels for five years. LG supplies the LCD panels for Apple's iPad.
