Neolux, a Korean electronic paper display manufacturer, announced recently that it has developed an upgraded version of its electronic paper device, the “Nuut2.”

Nuut2 is based on an advanced chipset co-developed by E-ink and Seiko Epson. It represents only the second appearance of this configuration on the world market after Amazon’s Kindle device.

Nuut2’s response time is twice as fast as the previous version because of the improvements made to the grey levels of the black and white e-paper-from four to eight-which enables the device to display images more clearly. 

The installed e-Book reader program supports the ePUB global standard format as well as the PDF and TXT universal formats. In addition to local newspaper publishers and France’s Le Monde, Neolux anticipates that the Nuut2 device and other company solutions will attract even more customers. 

The Nuut2 will begin appearing on shelves during April; its price has not yet been determined.  [via telecomskorea]
