Sony 's next smartwatch might be made of paper. The company is developing a smartwatch that is fully made of electronic paper, according to a latest report by Bloomberg.
The face and the strap of the smartwatch will be made from the e-ink technology and hence both will act as a display, said the report. E-paper, for those unfamiliar with the term, is the same low-power “electronic paper” display used in devices like the Kindle. It allows a display to be legible, even in direct sunlight, by reflecting light rather than emitting it like a standard LCD display.
The reproted e-paper smartwatch could be running Sony's custom wearable OS and not Android Wear as Google's smartwatch OS is not designed for non-LCD panels. Sony decided to use e-paper as it wants to focus on style rather than functionality and wide range of features.The device is reportedly a part of a new Sony program focused on creating innovative new products, which includes a Seed Acceleration Program, added the report.
The report said that the watch is one of the first products to come out of a new division formed by Sony CEO Kaz Hirai. Sony has been losing mobile market share rapidly over the past few months and ...

One of the biggest trends in technology at the moment is wearable devices such as smartwatches and whilst many manufacturers have begun launching their first devices this year, Sony's already on the third generation of the Sony Smartwatch range. Whilst this year's smartwatch shares many similarities with its predecessors (such as durability and overall design), it features a few major differences and the biggest of these is its powered by Google's new Android Wear operating system.
Whilst previous devices were powered by Sony's proprietary user interface, the adoption of Android Wear has meant Sony can stop focusing on the software and instead look to innovate in hardware and design. Has this move paid off or should Sony have continued using its proprietary OS?

Sony 's next smartwatch might be made of paper. The company is developing a smartwatch that is fully made of electronic paper, according to a latest report by Bloomberg.
The face and the strap of the smartwatch will be made from the e-ink technology and hence both will act as a display, said the report. E-paper, for those unfamiliar with the term, is the same low-power “electronic paper” display used in devices like the Kindle. It allows a display to be legible, even in direct sunlight, by reflecting light rather than emitting it like a standard LCD display.
The reproted e-paper smartwatch could be running Sony's custom wearable OS and not Android Wear as Google's smartwatch OS is not designed for non-LCD panels. Sony decided to use e-paper as it wants to focus on style rather than functionality and wide range of features.The device is reportedly a part of a new Sony program focused on creating innovative new products, which includes a Seed Acceleration Program, added the report.
The report said that the watch is one of the first products to come out of a new division formed by Sony CEO Kaz Hirai. Sony has been losing mobile market share rapidly over the past few months and ...

One of the biggest trends in technology at the moment is wearable devices such as smartwatches and whilst many manufacturers have begun launching their first devices this year, Sony's already on the third generation of the Sony Smartwatch range. Whilst this year's smartwatch shares many similarities with its predecessors (such as durability and overall design), it features a few major differences and the biggest of these is its powered by Google's new Android Wear operating system.
Whilst previous devices were powered by Sony's proprietary user interface, the adoption of Android Wear has meant Sony can stop focusing on the software and instead look to innovate in hardware and design. Has this move paid off or should Sony have continued using its proprietary OS?
