This stuff is getting so amazing. Totally cool technology! Imagine the possibilities for advertisers.

New E-Paper Will Show Moving Images Too

LONDON - Even before the electronic ink has dried on the e-page, a new generation of electronic paper may soon be able to bring a moving image to a foldable screen near you, according to scientists in the Netherlands.

Hot on the heels of the invention of a wafer-thin foldable screen that can display static type and may one day replace newspapers as it can be overwritten each day, scientists at Philips Research in Eindhoven have found a way to display high-definition moving pictures as well.

Using a process called electrowetting, the scientists claim to be able to manipulate colored oils in the pixels on the page with such speed and accuracy as to be able to generate clear and accurate video displays.

"The reflectivity and contrast of our system approach those of paper," they wrote in the science journal Nature. "In addition, we demonstrate a color concept which is intrinsically four times brighter than reflective liquid-crystal displays and twice as bright as other emerging technologies."

Not only does e-paper work on very low voltages, but its light weight and great flexibility give it a multitude of potential applications from computer screens to wearable cinematic suits.

With an e-paper screen sewn into a jacket, wearers could read e-mail or even watch the news on their sleeves while hot-footing it from one meeting to another.

Awesome!

If you wanna read some nerdy sci-fi that predicts and explores that kind of technology check out Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...56850?v=glance

The sad part is that some fuckwit company like Acacia will probably come along and claim to have the patent on this idea.

I though about it too, think we can sue?

This means we can send them porn pics and movies and they can watch it on a mini ePaper screen sewn into their sleeve above their left hand while they jack off in the men's room at work using their right hand.

Nice!

KRL, let me know if you need any techies for your new wrist porn empire, I'm down for whatever from a visionary of your caliper!

I bet they'll be kids hacking into people's clothes and defacing them.... a whole new "kick me"

Philip Dick wrote about this in his book "A Scanner Darkly" -- he was a narc for the Police... nobody was allowed to know who he was for security reasons -- not even the Police... so he had something called "a scramble suit" -- while wearing it -- slowly morphed his appearance between random people so he could be anonymous... God that technology has so many possibilities... this will be a whole new age for artists... The "skin" biz will expand so you can skin your whole fucking house, every part of your car, you can wear the same shit every day and just skin it differently... LOL I'll finally be the best dressed mofo in the world...
