Building e-ink based ereader devices is the game I'm talking about.
Sony built(with Phillips and Toppan) and sold the Libre in 2004 a year before Irex spun out of Phillips. . Yes the same team in Phillips that built the displays used in the Libres are the ones that started Irex but Irex didn't exist when the Libre was launched. Irex didn't debut their first device until 2006, 2 years after the Libre. So Sony was first in the ereader game.
