Low-power, wireless displays made possible
- javanix 16y agoI try not to get too worked up over press releases but it seems like they have a working prototype of this device - and that makes me excited.

- aw3c2 16y agoI absolutely disagree. Besides, having the sun shine into your window or having bright lights in the background gives the same problem.
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoIt's not e-ink. It's a screen that becomes sunlight readable and mostly black'n'white when you turn off the backlight. This also extends the battery life somewhat. But when you turn the backlight back on it's like a standard LCD.
- dLuna 16y agoWhen this goes into large scale production I'll be interested in buying one. The concept is really cool. I don't care so much about the "even in sunlight" part, but rather the low power consumption is the good part.
- DanielBMarkham 16y agoThis is really cool, but... It really needs capacitance touch. Aside from watching movies, it's going to be a bear trying to move a mouse on one machine while the pointer is on another screen, perhaps pointing away from you. I hate to complain, but that's the one feature that's missing from making this a truly breakthrough product. If they had that, I'd be a lot more psyched.
- ShabbyDoo 16y agoI was just telling a co-worker this morning that I want a reflective screen (ala Kindle) as a second monitor at work. I'd love to put documentation up on it. Although this isn't quite it, it's a step in the right direction.
- stuaxo 16y agoI really want a wireless screen I can paint onto any surface. It would have to be a self organising structure of some kind, and of course wirelessly powered. I'd imagine that ScreenPaint would make printer ink look pretty cheap at first!
