I'd expect that to happen within the next twenty years. I don't expect power-hungry, fragile, back-lit LCDs to remain the dominant display technology.
Agreed, but I honestly don't expect it to take as long as 20 years. I suspect we'll see commercially-viable colour eInk with video-capable refresh rates on the market within 10 years, if not sooner.
