Fujitsu Demos e-Paper Liquid Crystal Technology
"Al Zmyslowski, senior vice president of engineering at Fujitsu Computer Systems, holds a prototype of the company's e-paper technology at a meeting with reporters in Fujitsu's Sunnyvale, Calif., offices. The flexible 320-by-240-pixel color display uses liquid crystal technology but consumes no power once an image is loaded."
This is definitely a different twist from the electronic picture frames we've seen popping up more and more often at various stores. The real value is in its hybrid-like flexibility to electronically load up any image without requiring any power source to keep the image displayed (power is only required during the image load). Could there be any downstream impact with regards to our handheld devices? Perhaps not anytime soon, but for a brief moment, I did catch myself wondering how cool it could be if our PDAs/SmartPhones had a "display-off" mode that could actually show our tasks or appointments for the day without requiring extra power.

That would be really nice. The only problem that might happen is a slight lag time between tapping on a PDA screen and it responding, since it has to "wake up". Just a thought
