Plastic Logic Plans 2012 Launch For Color E-Paper Display

Here’s the latest report on Plastic Logic plans 2012 launch for color e-paper display :

E-readers as a whole is best to look back (or planning a wave of new functions, a), but it is safe to say that color displays would give ‘em a leg up on the retina-murder, battery-draining LCD-based alternatives. Plastic Logic is still working to get its first e-reader (the decidedly non color QUE, for the curious) in the feet of consumers, but the outfit is already planning the next big thing. Achim Neu, Director of SCM, who recently spoke on the International Electro Technical Forum, allegedly that his company plans to “have a manufacturable color screen at the end of 2011 and move it into volume production in 2012.” Details beyond that were scarce, but still, 2012 seems a long ways out – if Qualcomm can have its color Mirasol panel in shipping products that are better than average chance that none of this will matter.
