Plastic Logic and Rusnano to make plastic ereader displays no comments
The FT is reporting that Rusnano has approved plans and funding for a joint project with Plastic Logic to produce plastic ereader displays. The plastic displays will be produced in Russia and then will be sent to Taiwan for assembly into ereaders, which will be sold in the US and Russia. The project is expected to begin in December.
Let us hope that the price of any ereader incorporating this screen is lower than that of the cancelled Que ereader.

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.
