Ladies and gentlemen, E Ink is busting out a new version of their electronic ink technology which has me drifting on a heavenly cloud of bliss. It's called Vizplex and its tech specs are way superior to the previous E Ink imaging film technologies we've seen.

Typical Switch Speed: 740 ms (previous: 1200 ms)
Peak Switch Speed (monochrome): 260 ms (previous: 500 ms)
Brightness (reflectance): 40% (previous: 32-35%)
Greyscale levels: 8 (previous: 4)

According to the press release, PrimeView International will manufacture the TFT modules based on Vizplex with the first displays to come out this summer. Diagonal sizes will include 1.9", 5", 6", 8" and 9.7" (previous: only 6").

Ok, time to place your bets when the first Vizplex e-reader hits the stores.

Thanks to Jason for the tip!
