I love my Cintiq, but it's a little bit unwieldy. I'd like something more portable, even if I can't quite use it as a second monitor.]]>Apr 17th 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/
eg. take a reflectivity of white = 40%, max light out put is therefore about 20%...

Bright, reflective, colour displays with good colour saturation = a long long way off!

But you can just make up numbers if you want. That works, too.]]>Apr 17th 2009 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/No. The e-ink contrast is 1:8, so if black is 5%, then white is 40%, not 80%.]]>Apr 18th 2009 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/
Highest ranked?!!!

@ Gordon :

Oh really... do you work in the industry? I would guess not!

I don't have the exact reflectivity numbers (that's why I said - for example!)

However, currently commercially available E Ink has a reflectivity of about 40%. Back in 2006 Brigestone Quick Response Liquid Powder Display (QR-LPD) had a base white state reflectivity of 30% (read the paper if you want - Colour and Flexible Electronic Paper Display using QR-LPD® Technology, Ryo Sakurai et. al. Society of Information Display Digest 2006 page 1922 to 1925). I'm sure it has improved since then!

If they had a white state reflectivity of 80% they would be almost as good as photographic paper and would corner the e-paper market.

I propose to you, Gordon that YOU make the number up! I use the information at my disposal, and my spectrophotometer.

Also, for a bit more information a 5% black state (typical of electrophoretic display media) is not that great when it comes to colour... if you want to show Red, you'll find that a fairly large proportion of green and blue will also be present. This will screw with your colour gamut and reduce the colour saturation.

...but perhaps I'm making this all up?

As I said before, I predict that bright, good saturation, purely reflective displays are a long way off...]]>Apr 18th 2009 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/Apr 17th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/Apr 17th 2009 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/Apr 17th 2009 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/
What may seem novel often turns out impractical in actual use. Notice that it's mounted on a stand and not being held in the hand.

I'm not sure why everybody hates Kindle so much. It would be nice to have color and a touchscreen, but then the price gets out of hand.
If it had a fruit logo on it, everybody and their mother would own one, and buy books from the iBook/iApp store without a complaint.]]>Apr 17th 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/
User manuals. Technical manuals. Business documents. Textbooks. The list goes on. I could clear my shelf and clear my desk at work (would need encryption support for some docs though in case of theft). Good for students. Good for business people. A larger screen would also be good for newsprint/magazines (thought these will probably still die anyways to new formats).]]>Apr 17th 2009 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/
I think Bridgestone would be wise to either come out with either a new division or a spinoff with a BRAND new name for this technology so as to avoid all the jokes, innuendos and confusion both within the industry and with the public.]]>Apr 17th 2009 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/Apr 17th 2009 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/bridgestones-13-inch-color-e-paper-display-handles-pen-input-h/
