Plastic Logic's Flexible frontlighting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AnlRZ9Ohjs
Thank you very much for that video, that is rep worthy!

Unfortunately, if you watch closely, you see how uneven the lighting is (even when not bended) and that it is also very dependant on the viewing angle.. There is even a large light or stuck pixel on the upper-left side of the display

I am sure frontlighting will be improved (seems to work for 6" already) even more in the next generations but every technology has its physical limitations, lets hope they are not already reached in displays bigger than 8"

Also I am very sceptical of plastic logic, since they canceled their que reader, they have shown alot of prototypes (even color e-ink which looked better than triton) but they havent released anything usable commercially except bus stop signs.. And they only contract other companies which hasnt brought us any products, atleast in the consumer side of the market..
