Philips reckon that the future of e-paper is totally liquid. The usual model for e-paper "ink" -- as used by E Ink -- is called "electrocphoresis" and involves lifting particles up in a liquid to make them visible. Philips's method -- electrowetting -- has the coloured matter in liquid form: a liquid within a liquid. What this all means is that it's much faster -- fast enough to deal with moving images. And they might even have a 1 inch prototype by the end of the year.
