That turned out to be a mistake as LCD and OLED screen tech improved.

So you mean Amazon also didn't aquire them to integrate into ereaders? If so maybe the tech could end up in their fire range and not kindles?
I would of thought Samsungs original goal was to develop and sell the displays to 3rd party ereader makers but seeing as many sold up and most notably Sony quitting the market they probably thought it wasn't worth the time and effort to take it forward and with only Amazon selling worthwhile numbers it was just easier to cash in and sell them on.
If you have any references stating they wanted to plan to move their mobile products to liquavista that would be interesting to see.
