Electronic Flight Document Reader

At EAA/Oshkosh, ARINC introduced the eFlyBook, an electronic paper document viewer for general aviation info.

Electronic paper is a non-glare white plastic screen that displays electronic documents just as if they were printed on traditional paper. A user can also "write" on the screen with a stylus just like regular paper. The handwriting can be captured electronically, stored and erased, and the screen can be used again and again.

The iRex iLiad has a high-resolution black and white display that closely matches the appearance of printed paper. The glare-free white surface incorporates iRex's high-brightness electrophoretic display technology which remains as clear and readable as paper under all conditions, including direct sunlight.

Under the marketing agreement, ARINC becomes the exclusive distributor for iRex's electronic paper based eReader system in the aviation market. ARINC's first product using the new technology is ARINC eFlyBook™, a self-powered portable flight document library intended for use by U.S. based general aviation pilots. It stores hundreds of FAA charts and essential documents in memory and displays them with high legibility on the electronic paper screen.

This is a version of the iRex iLiad eBook reader.
