I agree that Liquavista are going to be making arrangements with an existing factory. That's why I find the Operations Program Manager (Asia based) vacancy so interesting.

Gives us something to look forward to...or at least to talk about.

I head back from an industry contact last night and he pointed out that most of these jobs are located in Eindhoven, where Liquavista has a research facility. That does not point to production: http://www.the-digital-reader.com/20...ed-production/ |

This type of tech is the holy grail for tablet makers. They won't stop innovating.
I wonder how it compares to e-ink for reading clarity. |

I'm skeptical of liquidvista because, if it's so good, why did Samsung sell it? You'd think they want to keep new and promising display techs for themselves.
But it's good to know amazon is doing something with it. Sometimes companies acquire stuff only to let them languish and die. |

Maybe Samsung had everything but the secret sauce or the right cooks... or Amazon had the money to pursue it and Samsung needed the cash. Maybe Samsung is more concerned with larger displays like the HDTV biz, or maybe it just made more sense for someone looking to acquire the missing pieces to produce a vertically integrated product. Amazon has deep pockets and Bezos seems like a risk taker unafraid to produce a loss leader if it means capturing a huge residual sales market to make a lot more a little farther down the road.
I'm just guessing, anybody follow Amazon and Samsung more closely? |

Perhaps Samsung is more focused on developing their flexible AMOLED screens?

Thank's. I somehow misunderstood the first quote - thought you meant they where backing out from the e-ink mobius display with regard to the Sony dpt-s1 13.3''
