Japan e-paper shipments to reach 129 million units in fiscal year 20

Electronic paper (e-paper) shipments from Japan will reach 129 million units in fiscal year 2006 (April 2006-March 2007), representing an on-year growth of 9.9%, according to the Japan-based Yano Research Institute.

The shipment value will reach 10.58 billion yen (US$94.7 million) in fiscal year 2006, representing an on-year growth of 174%, according to the research firm. The market will further grow to 19.96 billion yen in fiscal year 2008 and 57.24 billion yen in 2010, as the ASP (average selling price) will be boosted by the migration to color and larger-sized displays, noted the firm.
