). At the SID 2007 Symposium, the premier annual international gathering of the electronic display industry, Dialog will show the first ever family of dedicated chips designed to drive E Ink's latest segmented displays based on E Ink's Vizplex (Trademark)Imaging Film targeted at applications such as mobile phones, capacity meters on memory cards, electronic shelf labels, medical devices, smart cards Example of widely used contactless smart cards are Hong Kong's Octopus card, Paris' Calypso/Navigo card and Lisbon' LisboaViva card, which predate the ISO/IEC 14443 standard. The following tables list smart cards used for public transportation and other electronic purse applications.  and other consumer devices.

The new product announcement is part of a strategic partnership between the two companies to develop ICs that enhance E Ink's electronic paper displays, and increase market awareness of the potential for this technology.

Dialog's development board and software tools will make it easier for customers to rapidly prototype electronic paper based products. This complete solution will enable product designers to add paper-thin segmented displays easily and efficiently.'

Mr. Bagherli added, 'The first ICs we announced jointly last year are already in volume production in a USB flash drive See USB drive.  from a leading manufacturer; with our new family of drivers being announced today together with E Ink's displays, we are expecting a number of new design wins for applications which should go into mass production later this year.'
