Electric paper coming to a screen near you as soon as next year. Imagine a computer screen you can put into your pocket and a book that updates its story....Your Message Here, in a Flash: "Magink is not the first company to produce display technologies loosely referred to as electronic paper, which encompasses thin materials that readily display images sent electronically and viewed in reflective light from a wide range of angles. All the technologies operate on roughly similar approaches that depend on fabricated, microscopic elements that reflect light. The elements are controlled by a low-power electrical current to create pixels that display specified text and images. Xerox and E Ink, a display manufacturer in Cambridge, Mass., have been developing electronic-paper technologies for years. "
