Tech-On<\/a> reports that Matsushita (Panasonic) showed off a new prototype color eBook reader with a 5.6″, 210 points-per-inch display at the NE Technology Summit 2005<\/a> event held in Tokyo yesterday. Given that their current grayscale \u03a3 book<\/a> uses a bistable display made by Kent Displays<\/a>, I would hazard a guess that their prototype is using Kent’s new color ChLCD display<\/a> (but that’s just a guess). Bistable displays like the ChLCD and eInk<\/a>‘s microcapsule display (used in the Sony LIBRI\u00e9<\/a>) take power to change an image but not to maintain it, so they’re incredibly low power for low-framerate applications like eBooks.<\/p>\n
