Samsung Demos Carbon Nanotube-Based Color E-paper [E-paper]

How about this… first the typewriter, then the fax, computer, pdf scans and now… how about electronic / reusable paper to get signatures for offers on the go!  It may take until 2015 before it happens but it’s gonna be cool!

Looks like I really wasn’t wrong when I said e-paper is in the news: Samsung’s just demonstrated its own funky e-paper tech, only this time the display uses carbon-nanotube electrode technology—also a technology that’s in the news. The color carbon nanotube active matrix electrophoretic display (say that after a few pints of beer) works by rearranging charged pigment particles with an electric field, and is one of the first large-scale color displays of its type. Plus it has the advantage of being flexible as well as demanding low power. And since Samsung’s display is 14.3-inches across, it’s making our dreams of next-gen e-books even more tantalizing.
