DOCOMO mobile phones developed from waste wood
Japanese mobile operator NTT DOCOMO announced the development of prototypes of mobile phones, created by using the waste from the wood that remained after intermediate felling in order to keep him healthy. These prototypes were produced in collaboration with vendors such as Sharp Corporation, Olympus Corporation, and reforestation projects "more trees", based musician Ryuichi Sakamoto (Ryuichi Sakamoto), etc.
Corps of prototypes made from this cypress wood, called TOUCH WOOD, have high strength and water resistance, and resistance to insects and mold, due to a special three-dimensional compression technology developed by Olympus. The company notes that the usual wood is not suitable for use as components of a mobile phone, as it quickly wears out.
Also, manufacturers point out that every TOUCH WOOD phone has a unique texture, grain size and color palette. In addition, the shell phones do not use artificial colors and dyes, so that the cypress preserves its original natural appearance and flavor. But an attractive gloss corps formed already in the process of pressing the wood.
Graphical user interface "wooden" phones created art photographer Mikiya Takimoto (Mikiya Takimoto), a member of "more trees".
Models of these phones you will see on the exhibitions ITU Telecom World 2009 and CEATEC JAPAN 2009, which will be held in Geneva (Switzerland) from 5 to 9 October and the exhibition center at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo (Japan) from 6 to 10 October, respectively.
