Here's another trick - the display, pierced by a bullet, still continues to work.



Well, all previously released advantages: the screens do not fight, and because they use electronic ink and do not use the backlight, then spend a little energy, can be seen from any angle, etc. All this is very interesting, but for me the main problem and the question - when all these miracles will reach the same to the end user. The color display is not able to show videos, so to speak of the market, in any case, a retail perspective to say it is not necessary. Additionally, manufacture, Video monitored while significantly expensive. Already mentioned Plastic Logic 100 in retail did not appear and is not likely to appear and pass some endless experiment in schools for the needs of the Ministry of Education, and whether purchased for schools - is unknown and incomprehensible. I would like to have, so to speak, to test the market to achieve.
