I don't see how iRex gets any royalties in that situation .... |
There are two main components that go into producing a display, a screen and a controller. E-Ink has a patent on the screen, iRex designed the controller. PVI manufacturs them, but they didn't design the parts.
Think of it like a monitor with a built in video card. E-Ink created the monitor, iRex created the video card.
