Minebea in collaboration with Professor Kazuo Kawasaki has developed Cool Leaf, the next-generation flat surface which can be used for input devices. The company exhibited a keyboard, remote control and a calculator with Cool Leaf, which is flat transparent acrylic board with no gaps between parts and no keys to show. These devices (Φ-QWERTY, Φ-Remote and Φ-Calcs) are flat to the core based on a single board which leaves no spaces in between making it easier to keep the devices clean and dust free, in contrast to the traditional keyboards and remotes that have spaces between buttons which make them prone to dust.
The amazing part of these devices is the fact that when the power is off the surface seems like a mirror and when the power is on, it shows the letters and numbers on the surface, which would make these devices perfect for medical and other highly sophisticated applications.
