The Promise of E-Paper

A colleague passes along a link to an article on E-Ink and E-Paper: E-Paper Enters Practical Use. In NE Asia Online. Very good overview of the topic, vendors and new developments. Have worked with a number of prototype e-ink displays that showed promise. Since then there have been considerable developments in this area, including color displays and foldable screens. Cost and visibility are still issues, but are being addressed. Article has a great diagram of applications and their technical specifications. Ultimately the goal would be to have refreshable E-paper, but it would clearly not be cheap refreshable paper any time soon.
