E Ink shows off its new product

this is something out of harry potter

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

How does the ink get pulled around?

COOLEST thing ever.

Oh wow. That is SO cool.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
