Why isn't it CMYK? Either they didn't feel the need to discuss K because we already have black E-ink displays, or they feel K isn't needed. In printing, black ink is used in addition to CMY because the black from combining the three colors often isn't very black, and printing black text would also require precise registration of the three colors. Black ink is also cheaper. Registration isn't so much of an issue here, so if CMY produces an adequate black then there's no need for K.]]>Mar 30th 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/ricoh-develops-brighter-lighter-color-e-paper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/ricoh-develops-brighter-lighter-color-e-paper/

This means that RGB are the primaries for when the colors/light are generated (e.g. a backlit LCD). CMYK is subtractive, meaning that given an external light source (e.g. sunlight), CMYK is used to subtract from the light that is refracted from of the object.]]>Mar 30th 2009 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/ricoh-develops-brighter-lighter-color-e-paper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/ricoh-develops-brighter-lighter-color-e-paper/]]>Mar 31st 2009 12:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/ricoh-develops-brighter-lighter-color-e-paper/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/ricoh-develops-brighter-lighter-color-e-paper/Refresh rates should be a non-issue for something like an e-book reader as long as it's less than the time required to turn the page of a p-book.
