LG Display unveiled its Solar Cell e-Book reader with a thin-film solar cell measuring 10cm in width and length. Developed to perfectly fit 6-inch display panel for e-book, the prototype features an energy conversion efficiency of about 9.6 percent giving it an extra day’s worth of power from 6-inch TFT-LCD after about four to five hours in sun. The solar cell measures 0.7 mm in thickness and weighs 20 grams, which is less than thickness of a credit card and weight of a fountain pen.

Mr. Ki Yong Kim, head of the Solar Cell Office at LG Display said, “E-books are attracting a lot of attention because they offer 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 added benefit of longer usage. We’ll continue to provide users with enhanced convenience and value to solidify our lead in next-generation, environmentally friendly products.”

Currently, LG is working plans to nurture its thin-film solar cell energy conversion efficiency rate to 12% by 2010 on up to 14% by 2012. During IMID(International Meeting on Information Display) 2009’, LG Display will showcase prototype of solar e-book, and its newest cutting-edge display technologies in KINTEX, Gyenggi, Korea, during IMID (International Meeting on Information Display) 2009.
