BBC posts video on Liquavista and their electrowetting screen
BBC has just put out a video and text report on the colour e-paper screen which Liquavista are working on.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programme...ne/8610962.stm It looks promising but we still have to wait a few years to see it in the shops. |

Interesting vid - thanks for posting.
The prototype was huge! Made me laugh when the reporter said it wasn't available in the shops - like he was worried there might be a stampede to buy the world's bulkiest ebook reader. |

After seeing someone pick it up and move it around I'm sure there's a market somewhere for a big macho reader - while everyone else in your class is fiddling with their thin, girly iPads, make a statement with your chunky TomeReader!

By the time it is ready for the market you can be sure that it will be no bigger than the other readers on the market. |

Doesn't look like much of a competition for LCD (too slow). But very interesting for web browsing and book reading (for something like iPad).
