'Electronic paper' getting much cheaper

Not strictly the high-contrast, high-readability 'e-paper' technology but still very exciting since the number of potential applications is pretty close to limitless. Never thought I'd link to Stuff Magazine, but they do have a picture of, er, the stuff. From ARNnet: "The displays can obtain their energy from printable batteries, which are already available, according to Siemens. But since these batteries lasted only for a few months, the miniature display technology was only feasible for merchandise with high turnover rates or short-use durations, Siemens said. Another local energy source could be printed antennas that receive pulses from a transmitter in the shelf and convert the pulses into electricity, the manufacturer said."
