Plastic e-Ink Screens On Schedule for 2010 no comments
The Financial Times (via A Kindle World) is reporting that Prime View International, which makes e-ink screens for most of the current ereaders, has said that it is on track to release plastic e-ink screens in 2010.
The glass ereader screens which are in use now are prone to cracking. A relatively unbreakable screen would help pave the way for Kindle for Kids and the acceptance of ereaders for use in our school systems.
In a recent post about some upcoming technology affecting ereaders I said that I would be very surprised if the next Kindles did not have unbreakable screens – it looks like there is a very good chance that that was more than just wishful thinking on my part.
