Still, that monochrome ink is not what I'm looking for. I doubt if it would be good for watching movies. I'm sure the Apple tablet will have this beat by a long-shot, but it's good that LG keeps pushing that type of technology.]]>Jan 15th 2010 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/
+1 for observation about floppy displays, creases, and use on overcrowded trains

-100 for obvious apple fanboy comment]]>Jan 15th 2010 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/Jan 15th 2010 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/Jan 15th 2010 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/Jan 15th 2010 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/
Also, why would you want to watch movies on an e-book reader? Why not buy a PMP?]]>Jan 15th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/
Sometimes Engadget bloggers are very narrowsighted in their comments:
"...assuming anyone still cares about monochrome E Ink displays by then."

With physical print dying out, and books going electronic, how could you not think that the demand for e-ink displays will increase? Maybe it's because I'm a programmer and stare at a monitor all day, but I really don't want photons beaming into my eyes during recreation too.]]>Jan 16th 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/Jan 15th 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/Jan 15th 2010 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/

Yo fool, even just the display needs chips to make the display work (line drivers, capacitors, etc.) and I understand or am told that silicon is not flexible. They also fail to mention how that e-ink bubbles break when pushed hard or with a sharp object. The largest papers in the world are color, started some time like 10 years ago so even papers are color. and yes it is shades of gray on gray there is no white or black in an e-ink device.

True true, but you could have added and not subtracted because what you also say is false false.

Thin film, flexible electronics have been shown and are developing, thin film solar already exists and is flexible enough to wrap onto a surface.

The four layer paper, 1)touch 2)screen 3)electronics and 4)solar is already possible but not yet practical. This in the first instance could roll up into a thin box at one end (like a blind) that is battery and other chunky stuff

Next the four layer, or at least the touch, solar and display layers and even potentially a battery layer will be a meta material that also provide haptics using a strategy like goosebumps.

Unfortunately for the metamaterial version, it will be fighting for survival by the next gen of computing display which will look like a badge and sit on your upper pectoral, collect power, sense every hand motion by the subtle shifting of your pectoral and wirelessly broadcast an image direct to your optic nerve. ]]>Jan 15th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/Jan 15th 2010 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/Jan 15th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/Jan 15th 2010 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/Jan 15th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/
I want to see more Gyricon based e-paper!

Plus the link came via "e-ink-info".

Maybe starting out a bit chuncky and expensive but soon going the way home DVD players went (over a thousand dollars but within a few years as low as fifty dollars) then suddenly they are practically full blow slates/tablets costing more than some actual note/netbooks? WTF talk about feature creep; more like feature pounce.

On top of that we expected them to be open systems like the PC where anyone could build them and they would run anything in their format but we end up in straitjackets, bound to certain content cartels. Screw that.

I will only be interested in an e reader when they are so mass produced and cheap that hobos are using them as blankets.]]>Jan 15th 2010 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/lg-displays-19-inch-e-ink-display-plays-loose-with-the-truth/I think the flexibility would be mostly for putting it on pillars for ads/info and on dashboards and designs maybe, rigid but following curves.
