Usually each colour pixel is made of three or four sub-pixels. For the same sub-pixel density you could have a black and white display with twice the linear resolution.

Also with most e-ink-like displays, adding colour reduces the contrast.]]>May 13th 2010 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/
I don't care about refreshrates- but would at least like to have a 6-7" slim reader that can display color for magazine reading.]]>May 13th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/

Absolutely nothing! Engadget is jumping on the train to exaggerate things. The backlight of LCD displays tend to tire your eyes faster, which is uncomfortable over a long period of time. But that's all. ]]>May 13th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/May 13th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/
Actually I do enjoy the sarcasm very much. As long as it's not over the top. ]]>May 13th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/May 13th 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/May 13th 2010 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/
The frequency the screen refreshes is an issue too. True. But with reading it's mostly all about lighting conditions. How bright that light is, how far your eyes are away from the source and how the background bright/dark the surrounding light is. It can stress the eyes and in the worst case they start to hurt or you get dizzy.
A screen without backlight isn't ultimately better but under certain lighting conditions it's more comfortable than LCD.]]>May 13th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/They over eggagerate EVERYTHING and are so sarcastic most of the time!

if it was, kudos....]]>May 13th 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/
Um - have you ever read the comments under the articles?? We the readers don't have a right to complain about sarcasm... :-)]]>May 13th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/May 13th 2010 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/May 13th 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/May 13th 2010 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/
However, having a Harry Potter-esque newspaper/magazine would be quite neat.]]>May 13th 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/

Mirasol aside; any competition in the color e-ink display market will drive down costs and increase innovation = better new-egg deals for the gadget lusting masses :) ]]>May 13th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/

Oh and the price better be lower than what they wanted for the Que.
By the way, is the Que ever coming out?]]>May 13th 2010 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/May 14th 2010 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/I was going to buy one, but then the iPad came out and my wife told me that I should try it and see if it would do what I needed.
Sure enough it does do what I needed (view and edit my word docs) and have no need for the Que now.
Sorry plastic Logic, but if you came out 6 months ago you would have gotten my cash and not apple. ]]>May 14th 2010 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/plastic-logic-plans-2012-launch-for-color-e-paper-display/May 14th 2010 3:50AM
