Your comment lacks any effort at accuracy. ePaper is a generic term and tonnes of manufacturers make ePaper displays, even huge companies like Sharp. Even startups like ClearInk that I've interacted with make electrophoretic displays which are the same underlying technology as E-Ink. And I bet if I ask you for evidence of "bunch of patents they have exclusive rights to", you'll just patent search for E-Ink and pretend that's evidence. Look at my comment history. It is pretty clear HN posters like above know nothing about the display industry and yet make extraordinary claims with such confidence and inability to provide any evidence for their faith in those claims.
