Disposable e-paper

I dont think that this technology has been up on mobile read before

it is a swedish company that has developed a printeble paper display that should be very cheap to produce. I dont know how far they are but I guess they are targeting the newspaper industry. I think that they are using real paper as one of the materials.

they boast with
Disposable!
0.005 €/cm2!
Low voltage!
Low power!
Sun light readable!
High viewing angle!

In other words e-paper that is dirt cheap to produce (6 inch screen would be less than 1 euro) and disposable (I am pretty sure that you could dispose of a Kindle also if you want...)

They dont mention on their frontpage that it has "Switch time, ts < 10 sec" or
400 switches or 12 months before it breaks. So NO, it wont really work as a ebook reader, unless they make like a real book out of these pages and then you update the whole book at once and read it without switching page more than once. (the paper looks like it can bend very well), then you would only need to buy a new e-readerbook for every 200th book or so. But it would be as thick as a normal book....

I am a bit sceptical, but hey it might be great
