I can't see it. E-ink will never be able to do HD video etc. You're just not going to be able to move colored dust particles around at a rate and accuracy to do that.

And back lighting is a necessity for sharp video like HD movies, TV etc. Those look awful on a display with back lighting turned way down. Backlit or projected images in a dim room will always be the only way to go for getting top notch picture quality. While reflective screens with proper ambient lighting will always be best for reading.

So what I think what will happen is we'll see no screen tech--something like Pixel QI or Mirasol, but future much more advanced version than what they've shown will emerge that can do text without back lighting better than e-ink and HD video better than the best LCD or Plasma displays.

Then you get the best of both worlds in one display and everyone is happy, videophiles and bookworms alike!
