I'm afraid that's not right.
The name of the company that makes them is "eInk", and is owned by "Prime View International", better known as "PVI", in Taiwan.
The first generation of eInk screens (as used in devices such as the Sony PRS-500) didn't have any particular name.
The second generation of screens, as used in the Kindle 1 and Kindle 2, were "VizPlex" screens.
The third generation of screens, as used in the Kindle 3 and the current generation of Sony Readers, are STILL VizPlex screens, but are specifically called "Pearl" screens.
