Check out the e-ink website section on flexible displays, which mentions that plastic logic is still using e-ink: http://www.eink.com/technology/flexible.html

What makes current displays inflexible is the rigid lcd-style backplane that manufacturers add to e-ink's layer to control the pixels. Plastic Logic has developed some process so that the backplane is made of flexible organic transistors. There is a press release link in the above page that gives more details.
