Nanotech Based Display

yodha writes "Ntera showed their NanoChromics Display (NCD) recently. The display uses a nanotechnology process to create a more paper-like image than traditional LCD screen. It delivers significant power savings (they've shoehorned one into an iPod to give people a sense of what it looks like). The image can even remain on the screen for weeks without any power and doesn't need a backlight."

So much for turning the screen off when you're looking at... home movies and your parents/friend/girlfriend walks in ;)

I'd imagine your girlfriend would be more upset to find you jerking off to puppies, rather than women.

Sounds good.

I figured out how to do that 30 years ago to my folks TV with my PONG console...

But that's just some off the cuff calculating and thoughts. I am sure someone out there, perhaps someone who thinks that 1/20th of a dollar is not the same as 5% of a dollar will elucidate my errors.

Actually, my friend, 1/20th of a dollar is a nickel.

I just looked at all thier fuss and bother, and the 'image stays without power'

But then I read the disclaimer, if you shake them the image disspears!

Nothing more than a uppity etch-a-sketch! Works on same principles.

Nanotech my ass!
