Fujitsu demo: bendy low or no power color displays

Who the hell are "some analysts"?

E-paper has been around in various forms for at least 10 years. It's passive reflective, doesn't emit light, just like regular paper.

Do you think it is the "frog eggs" technology in color? I thought that was a Xerox patent.

Never heard of that. Some company, maybe E-Paper, had a technology that involved using electric fields to move ink particles around inside tiny plastic capsules. Low contrast, slow, b&w only, as I recall.

Who needs a flexible display? Sounds niche-y to me.

John

So, roll-up, limited-life oled or e-paper screens could become the next inkjet refill: the tv's are almost free, but you have to buy a new screen every 3 month for $99.95. Sounds like a winner.

John

If it was free (in performance and features as well as cost), lots of people would want them. Palm's number one warranty issue is broken displays. E-books would be nice if you could throw them around like real books (maybe someday they'll be better than real books- light,

300dpi+, full reflective color, waterproof and float so you can take them to the beach or read them in the bath).

And our friend Nina is taking e.r. from HP. Full year's salary plus the retirement stuff. She says she hasn't actually had any real work to do in the last few years.

Now there's a $1bn idea. A few subtle mods and technology is pretty much here today. What's Carleton (Carly) Sneed Fiorina doing these days? Wolfie snatched her World Bank gig.

Also, the detail has been stripped and PRed, but see

Apart from trashing the company you mean ?

Graham

She's not trashing it, she's retiring. Carly trashed HP.

Beer cans with changing sports trivia??? That would keep me amused for a very long time...
