A new display technology called i2R e-paper is making the rounds today. It's developed by ITRI, a Taiwanese research company that has produced flexible AMOLED and LCD displays in the past. i2R is essentially a plastic substrate with a heat-activated liquid crystal coating: you pass it through a thermal printer and a 300dpi monochrome image is impressed on its surface — until you want to rewrite it, which you can do up to 260 times by their calculations.Putting aside the obvious comparisons to, say, using a pencil, I'm not sure this technology is the paper-killer ITRI and some sites think it is.
