Pixel Qi E-Paper LCD Dual Display Video Walkthrough
Here's the first hands-on video with the new Pixel Qi LCD screen, a panel that touts a two-mode, high-resolution LCD display—one mode being "transflective," so that it swaps backlight for natural light, requires less energy and is easier on the eyes—LCD's answer to E-Ink. More »

E Ink's AM300 Dev Kit Capable of Quick Animations and Touch Input
Cambridge-based E Ink is turning some heads with it's AM300 Developer Kit, which promises refresh rates fast enough to support animations (think dynamic ads), interactive touch input, and 16 unadulterated, detailed shades of grey (!). Developed in conjunction with Epson, the kit uses the New York Times as an example, which makes sense, as those enamored with E Ink technology have long fantasized about its use with newspapers and magazines. In any case, the dev kit looks pretty cool and I can't wait for people to start using it in the real world. [Youtube via Engadget]

E Ink Improves Contrast and Refresh Rate for E Books
We really like the idea of ebooks, but their low contrast and pokey refresh rate just about ruins the experience when using devices such as the Sony PRS-500 Reader pictured above. Now, Cambridge, Massachusetts, company E Ink, the inventor of this tech, has decided to spruce it up with a higher-performance imaging film it calls Vizplex. More »

blueChute: E Ink Concept
The E Ink blueChute concept is just what e-ink (confused?) needs to get us excited again. Sure, it has all those energy efficient and ease of reading benefits just like its predecessors, but never before have we seen e-ink displays with this combination of sexiness and general utility—plus we could always use another eye chart.
