Against my better judgement, I read the article. It has at least one significant error about current technology: in the Kaleido display it is not true that "the color filter array produces colors in a small hexagons". The colour filter is 3x1 bars of colour. In no way do they combine to make hexagons.

As for the speculation about a new Kaleido display. Good grief. In describing what new things will appear:

It says "Companies are able to use a layer of glass, as well as non-glass based displays". This is true. But it's also true of previous E-Ink technologies.

It says "The refresh rate on color will be as fast as B&W e-paper." This is true. But it's also true of Kaleido and Triton. The addition of a colour filter doesn't change the refresh rate of the underlying E-Ink technology in any way.

And the rest is clearly idle speculation. Of course E-Ink are trying to improve contrast and color saturation of the display.

And these are just the immediate highlights of what's wrong with the article. No-one else should waste their time on articles at goodereader.com.
