The price tag seems high. As previously mentioned it might be because of, low inventory volumes, new tech., etc.. What baffles me is that this technology was developed with OLPC in mind. How can you hope to sell a 100$ laptop (original price target) if a 10" screen with the same technology is 275$?
OLPC didn't have insane production volumes to begin with yet shipped for 150$ which is less than this screen. Moreover, it was specifically designed to be able to use existing LCD manufacturing technology which should keep the production cost low.
I predict that this price is inflated for early adopters since they will probably be selling all their inventory anyways. They are hopping to have an extremely high profit margin to recoup original investments.
