- breakneckridge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It seems as if paper-like displays have been 2 years away for about 15 years now.
- coolwasabi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The article is dated March 6, 2005.
=/ - fishbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How about an update? .... from September.
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=5142 - SergeantSavage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sounds like minority report
- tablatronix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Heh , funny thing is i was doing some tech research on epaper the other day and came across that device.
Shortly after i saw it being demoed on the Beyond Tomorrow tv show. - ksgant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am announcing that in 2 years there will be an announcement that there will be Paper-like displays in 2 years.
- PacoBell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I too am not interested in a rollable display. I'd much rather have a retinal scanning display from the likes of Microvision. Now that's a company with true vision (no pun intended).
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i announce in 2 years i will have the next viagra.
now give me some venture captial.
what a crock of *****. NO DIG - Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1See, the Sony Librie uses E-Paper:
http://www.dottocomu.com/b/archives/002571.html - WDot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1With some improvement, could this be used for televisions? I mean, current HD tvs are massive, hulking things. I know people want their sixty inch tv's, but do they need to be as fat as they are?
I know the article says it's ideal for mobile applications, but with a little more juice, could an almost flat HDTV be made to conserve house real estate? - StrawberryFrog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These displays don't use alot of energy
no, they only use alittle energy. - ejio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sigh...another two years....again...
- thetbad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I read about this on ABCNews 9 years ago... still waiting!
- inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0> It seems as if paper-like displays have been 2 years away for about 15 years now.
LOL! I read an article about this technology in Wired almost 6 years ago and the claim at the time was that it was right around the corner. - dpogni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i hope that thing is going to be cheap, because i'm sure they'd break easily
- mgreenwald, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"It seems as if paper-like displays have been 2 years away for about 15 years now."
Well about five years but yeah my sentiments exactly. I want an e-book reader like sony's except paper thin and if it could rool out of a pen or a wand that would be great too. - Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Umm, this is just E-Paper. We already have this.
- Sonic84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0reminds me of that scene in "Red Planet." if tech in general ever gets small enough, you could have a laptop with a pull out screen the size of a Sharpie.
- MrZop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Any Videos of this stuff in action?
- wakazashi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lame, seriously old news. great tech, just damn old news
- Discosis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Paper-like display in 2 years.
Optimus OLED keyboard when?
:) - clumsyninja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Black and white laptop?
- blhack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i really want to put something like this on a t-shirt....dynamic printinG!
- Flipino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0... and maybe *affordable* paper-like display in a decade.

That's exactly what I was going to write. This pops up every few years. "The End of Newspapers! Soon you'll be able to just download new content every morning."
I'll believe it:
a) When I see it
and
b) When it's 50 cents like the morning paper - ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0pretty cool stuff.
- teh_toaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I could've sworn Earth: Final Conflict was off the air. I'm gonna have to send Roddenberry an e-mail.
- EmmEff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Am I the only person on this planet who doesn't see any value in a "rollable" display? Sounds ridiculous to me... and I'll bet it doesn't have good enough specs to work as a dynamic display in applications like regular use PCs and notebooks.
- johnvbrennan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Lame, no digg. I read this story months ago.
- addisonj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Lol, people talking about putting this stuff in TV's? it barely looks good enough to read a book in, with its nifty 4 tone pallete. Now when they make rollable displays with full color, fast refresh rates (these things have extemely slow to reduce power consumption) at least XGA resolution then i will be all for it, until then it really is a niche category as who would go back to grayscale color with lower resolution than my ipod video, only good for reading books
- kidtux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think e-paper is starting to reach maturity, although once they are able to achieve color displays this will really take off!
- Dhalgren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Am I the only person on this planet who doesn't see any value in a "rollable" display?
I don't carry my Blackberry I got from my office around because the damn thing is too big. If you could roll the screen up into the device, the size could be dramatically reduced, and then people like me would carry it around. - teh_toaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0by the time this actualy does come out, we won't be reading anymore. Instead we will be using lasers to swap information inside our heads.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wonder what we'll get first: Paper-like display, flying car, or a Seahawks return to the Super Bowl?
- KSUdesigner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"It is thus ideally suited for mobile applications. "
Um, duh. Not to mention this is a repeat post. Search digg before posting your "news." - felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hardly a new announcement, since this is from almost a year ago. Wake me when there's news.
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0LMAO
Paper displays!
Maybe they will invent a long, thin, cylindrical, handheld 'data entry device.'
It looks like a pen, works like a pen, as ink in it, but it costs a lot more!
Just like we had in grade school, B4 there were computers.
Then perhaps some innovator wil reinvent the 'spiral notebook'
