Sony working on e-paper smartwatch for next year

Sony is reportedly developing an e-paper display smartwatch which might come "as soon as next year."

According to the report of Bloomberg, the smartwatch's wrist band and watch face will be made from a patented technology called e-paper that allows the entire surface area to function as a display and change its appearance.

Sources also reveled that in this watch style will be the main focus rather than to compete others on features or specification.

The watch is said to be part of Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai's recent initiative to fast-track promising products and attempt to regain the culture of innovation the company was known for in years past.

E-paper watch is also part of Sony's new Seed Acceleration Program, which allows employees to pitch ideas to people either inside or outside the company with the goal of receiving funding.
