TOKYO and BEIJING, Nov. 10, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The New York Times recently reported on Hanvon, the world's first color e-book. The following in an excerpt from the article that appeared in the New York Times on Nov. 8, 2010, with the headline "Color Comes to E Ink Screens"
E-book readers are lightweight and use little power, but most have a distinct disadvantage to colorful tablet computers: their black-and-white displays.
But on Tuesday at the FPD International 2010 trade show in Tokyo, a Chinese company will announce that it will be the first to sell a color display using technology from E Ink, whose black-and-white displays are used in 90 percent of the world's e-readers, including the AmazonKindle, Sony Readers and the Nook from Barnes & Noble.
