There are many working prototypes. I can't publish my entire source list, but here's a few links to demonstrate what I'm on about.

BBC Article & Video LIQUAVISTA 2010
MIRASOL IMOD display 2012
AEROBEE E-paper Video 2011
Can you define working prototype, please?

I ask because Bridgestone (the Aerobee video) has dropped from the market and neither Liquavista nor Mirasol have shown off a screen that size. They also won't hit mass production before late next year, so I'm not sure that you'll ever be able to build a device around one.

And I've been told that Mirasol cannot actually make a screen larger than 5.7", so I don't know why they're listed at all.
