As for a color e-ink display, I don't think a feature like that will come out in the near future. E-ink is just tiny particles of titanium dioxide floating around in a fluid. Yes. Tiny particles of solid material. When these pieces float near the front (moved by way of electrical current), the area appears light. When they float near the back, dark. So, how would a color e-ink display work? Not only would it be expensive, but it would also be less economical than regular e-ink. Tiny, color-changing particles floating around in fluid? No. You may as well aim for an e-reader with an LCD display (the cheaper, more practical option). |
