       "If ever a technology has begged to be disrupted, it is Liquid Crystal Displays.  Invented in 1963 and envisioned as a slimmed-down replacement for bulky cathode ray tubes or as screens for wall mounted televisions ? a use never realized due to problems scaling up to large surfaces ? liquid crystal displays have instead become the standard for everything from watches to laptop computers.  Despite this, however, remains high production and commercial expenses that have never come down enough to successfully mass market these displays, leaving the technology vulnerable to new innovations.

[...]

 With the imaging appliance revolution underway, the need for more advanced handheld devices that will combine the attributes of a computer, PDA, and cell phone is increasing and the flat-panel mobile display industry is searching for a display technology that will revolutionize the industry.  The need for new lightweight, low-power, wide viewing angled, handheld portable communication devices have pushed the display industry to revisit the current flat-panel digital display technology used for mobile applications.  Struggling to meet the needs of demanding applications such as e-books, smart networked household appliances, identity management cards, and display-centric handheld mobile imaging devices, the flat panel industry is now looking at new displays known as Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED).

"(IDG) -- It will look like any other digital sign. Every minute or so, the message will change. It might flash, "Bananas on sale," because it knows that there are too many bananas in the stockroom.

The sign will be made with electronic ink. It will be wirelessly connected through a two-way pager to the store's inventory database, allowing the sign to change its message according to stock demands.

As intriguing as signs like this may sound, they're just the beginning of what Cambridge, Mass.-based E Ink Corp. hopes to accomplish. The company is a leader in the development of electronic ink and "paper" that could replace newspapers and books as we know them today. The use of electronic ink and two-way wireless communication could lead to the creation of electronic books that will renew themselves with new selections when readers are finished with the current book - or newspapers that update themselves with the latest news while being read."
