With its ultra-thin profile display, its extraordinary contrast and clarity, and its unrestricted design potential, SEIKO’s Electro-phoresis Display watch has captured the imagination of the industry.
For 2007, these unique capabilities have been fused into a delightful bracelet watch for women which is the perfect expression of SEIKO’s emotional technology. If the wearer is at work, it can be set to its ‘efficiency’ mode; the display is informative and easy to read. If, however, the watch is set to its ‘mystery’ mode, the panel expresses the time in a more imaginative, evocative style. Just pick the style to reflect your mood!
It’s nice to finally see some products come to market using electronic ink. I’m curious as to the availability of the device.
Now that is pretty cool. I dont wear jewelry, ever, but if they could do this with a ring, I’d buy it.
I imagine a belt for guys. You could have messages scroll all the way ’round. Imagine the possibilities.
if it as really wide, I’d wear it – think of all teh cool stuff you could display on it (aka dilbert comic strip)
isnt it traditional for blogs to link their sources?
@3. That wouldn’t be a bracelet it would be a gauntlet.
Someone made a mood ring that actually works.
My wife isn’t a geek chick.
What’s the resolution?
This would be really cool if it were actually a ring. and if it could connect to the internet, and if it were a cell phone too.
Wish there were a link to a longer discussion of the products and the tech behind them.
#9 – Matthew – Heh. That read just like a Deep Thought from Jack, Handey.

A LARGE DIAMOND.
But it costs about the same as a nice laptop computer.
Quitcherbitchin – here’s the link.
Sony makes a product called the a-Reader. It’s an electronic book that uses electronic ink. I got one last November. It’s pretty cool. Download books to your computer and load the a-Reader. Holds around 80 books without extra memory.
Sony will probably use Nemoptic e-paper technology, they recently signed an agreement for manufacture.
xerox developed this technology like 10 years ago. Glad to see that it’s being used.

The biggest problem for e-paper is that even though the display material is different from LCDs and other flat display technologies it still requires a driver backplane just like those other technologies. This significantly reduces the potential savings and slows deployment. Now that cheaper driver schemes are being developed e-paper has gotten new opportunities for market penetration.

That’s an interesting technology. Now to find out how the hell they manage a perfectly circular, continuous sapphire crystal…
