He kinda drifted away from it, though, during the years. The Ultra Zone was the last truly Zappaish album...

Close
It's from Nanook Rubs It (which follows Don't Eat The Yellow Snow on Apostrophe').

It' can't be. Not the E Ink e-ink, anyway. The article only mentions transparent electrodes and transistors and says it could be applied to LCD's, e-ink displays etc., not the actual display matrix.
Cholesteric Bistable LCD's could, OTOH, work with this. Another thing that could work with transparency would be an e-ink display consisting of little bipolar, thin plates (instead of spheres or grains) so when you rotate them parallel to the plane of display, they block the light, while rotating them perpendicular to it let's the light pass through. That would probably be quite slow, though (friction!).

It's white. I.e. opaque. And if you were to replace the capsules with the white pigment with transparent capsules, you wouldn't do jack, because you could still see the black ones through them.
