E Ink shows off its new product

[mouniros75]

WOW .... !

[dodgedart74]

uh uh uh uh uh , thats all i hear

[bryoneill11]

This is not LCD... Its E Ink and I want this animation in the Kindle NOW

[oliviyo2]

i wonder if this technology might be adapted and incorporated in to home entertainment, like tv's and computer monitors, because e-ink the compnay is trying to make colour e ink, i wonder if they could make 3d hd with this, or electric posters?

[Stizogm]

@oliviyo2 Electric posters yes, in fact they already exist. Probably not home entertainment, at least not for a very long time, because normal LCDs already look great. The point of e ink is not really for demanding things like 3d stuff, LCDs are very well suited for that, its for extremely low power paper replacement that looks like paper.

[braydenbeautiful]

please just make one for regular people to buy and just throw it in a casing. so cool.

[Kuhtuh]

Well I think that it's kind of pointless... considering there is the internet now...

[8aetroya8]

fucking amazing, i can see why they where bought up for $215 million of so...

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

this is something out of harry potter

[waroftheworldseu]

Is it possible to have CYMK coloured ink on say different layers to produce an image?

How does the ink get pulled around?

[cyberspy034]

COOLEST thing ever.

[soulfreeze]

Oh wow. That is SO cool.

[SueWNY]

BTW, to the idiots bashing it, pay attention! What's being displayed is a developers kit, NOT an actual E Ink device. It's used to by those who want to create content for E Ink devices and those devices themselves.

[SueWNY]

Awesome-although I can do without the flashing ads. As for the people wanting color-color is far beyond the capabilities of E-ink at this time, so don't hold your breath.

[matthewhowardwolf]

So it's an LCD display with external circuit board guts next to it pinned down to a board? The future of newspapers? Maybe one you show us something that looks like it was made in a 4th graders basement as his science project.

[BlkRider]

It is not LCD it is e-Ink. Completely different technology. And it is on a board because is it intended for developers. Complete product will look different of cause.

[neemz2000]

Some people STILL think putting a man on the moon is crazy. ;-)

[neemz2000]

The newspaper of the future is already here. It's called the Internet.

[xhenx]

Too small, at least must be one A4 size.

and B/W o come on..please use colors, there are some other project that use colors instead a combination of BW.

Need to improve more!!!

[alizta]

Doing color in electrophoresis displays is pretty difficult and would likely have a very bad penalty on the possibility of animation. It is not impossible but come on... this is the first generation of e-ink devices. We didn't start with color in lcd technology either.

[Tysto]

Awesome. And what better way to show off new e-ink technology than displaying animation in a 12-pixel square?

[RockOut918]

people used to think that putting a man on the moon or even flying was the most ridiculous idea in the world...not so crazy anymore. anything is possible

[ahmedu3]

love it

[Rgvmonster]

Yeah that will never get off the ground. LAME

[caddytwix]

It already has. Did you not see the Esquire 75th anniversary magazine cover?

[bdg486]

It's like the newspapers in Harry Potter!

[missangie1123]

That crossed my mind too I think it's neat. I wonder how long it will take to come out and how I can justify purchase as I just bought a Kindle

[GrassrootsMU]

The newspaper industry in the future is very interesting.
