P-Ink new e-paper type by Opalux.

The Canada-based Opalux introduced its new e-paper technology. It is based on altering the color of the pixel instead of darkening color elements of the pixel, the technology applied earlier. The new display will pump out colors three times brighter than other displays, which is crucial for displays exposed to reflected light.

The technology is called P-Ink and based on photonic crystals made out of silica beads. The crystals can then be made to reflect varying wavelengths of light. The developers expect to see the P-Ink technology applied in commercial products in 2009, for example in advertising displays.
