e-Paper Possibilities

Nature News has a story on e-paper capable of displaying high resolution images (better than current laptop displays) and fast enough to play videos. The Philips Research laboratory in the Netherlands says they've come up with a display that looks pretty much like ordinary paper but, in this case the "ink" can be rearranged electronically fast enough to show video movies. Phllips say in principle that such a display, covered with electronic ink, could display an entire library, page by page. Page information would be stored in a memory chip, and the display would be powered by a slimline battery so that the whole unit wouldn't be much thicker than a pad of paper and could be any width and height.
