A picture named e.ink.phot.jpg Progress Made In Electronic 'Paper'

AP via CBS News:

In a step toward electronic newspapers and wearable computer screens, scientists at E Ink Corp. have created an ultra-thin screen that can be bent, twisted and even rolled up and still display crisp text.

The material, only as thick as three human hairs, displays black text on a whitish-gray background with a resolution similar to that of a typical laptop computer screen.

The screen is so flexible it can be rolled into a cylinder about a half-inch wide without losing its image quality.
