E-Ink used as crime clue on CSI:NY

daffy4u · 04-18-2009, 03:14 PM

I'm watching my CSI:NY on my TiVo and just came to a section where the e-ink used on a panel on a magazine cover is used as a crime clue. It's about 40 mins into the episode (with commercials) One character does keeps calling the panel an LCD but then explains how e-ink works.

I checked Hulu which has full episodes but this one isn't up yet. The title is "Wrong Dunbrook" with Craig T. Nelson as the guest star.

Edit: Wrong title, it's " The Past, Present and Murder" and the episode is up on the CBS website.

if you have Comcast with HD, it's also available on demand as well. No idea how long into it it is as the episodes on demand only have 2 commercials total. One before the episode starts and one someplace in the midst of the episode.

I just checked the CBS site and the segment starts 28 minutes in. Also it looks like it really is an LCD screen on the magazine cover.

Yeah, I thought it had color in it when it flashed by. I wonder how good the "possible" forensics are on eink.

The Ledger NY picture above looks very much like the e-Ink cover of last October's Esquire. The wording is similar, too. Esquire says "The 21st Century begins now" and it flashes white behind semi-transparent colour images - giving the illusion of lighting them up. Inside the cover the e-Ink flashes and it 'lights up' a blue, red and white background.

I've had Esquire flashing continuously on my desk since October. I'm waiting for it to stop working, so I can take the e-Ink panel apart
