E-Ink Spectra 6
Interesting item on Gizmodo about E-Ink's Spectra 6 displays.
See E Ink's New Color E-Paper Looks Almost as Good as LCD Screens for a bit more information. |

Signs, and In Store adverts Probably with front lighting and much slower than the appalling 1.5 seconds refresh of Gallery 3. Some company will be mad enough to make an ereader/android tablet and I'll be amazed if it succeeds.
A 30:1 contrast ratio is like LCDs maybe 25+ years ago. LCD is about 1000:1 now, though they claim 4000:1 (probably fantasy even on OLED in normal ambient light). Certainly interesting but like many tech / gadget sites in last 10 years its strong on hype and poor on details. |

Low-power, full color, sunlight-proof displays... I can see a strong market for this. Just not in the e-reader space.

That's some cool tech! Ideal for digital signage solutions. I'd love to see the refresh rates improved to where e-reader integration is feasible, but I doubt there's much drive in that direction with colour e-ink devices making up such a small fraction of the e-reader market.
