Don't we love it when it turns into the primal "Mine is bigger than yours" kind of game? At this year's SID exhibit (http://www.sid.org/conf/sid2007/sid2007.html), Samsung is going to present the "concept" model of what they claim the biggest color e-paper display, which - with a 14.3-inch diagonal - is even topping the color e-paper from LG Philips announced last week by a spine-tingling 0.2 inch.

Samsung is also going to impress folks with a 40-inch (1366x768) black-and-white e-paper which is most likely going to be used for presentational purposes, consuming only 1/500 of the power of a conventional LCD display.

Btw, the display shown on the photo here is not actually from Samsung, but from Citizen and measures about 4.2 x 1.7 feet! So talking about size...
