E Ink shows a new e-reader prototype with a color Triton2 display and front light

E Ink is showing a new e-reader prototype with a color Triton (Gen 2) E Ink display and front lighting. E Ink says the displays are getting better, and it's now almost like LCDs. Even though quality is better, and production costs have gone done, E Ink still does not see mass adoption of these panels by e-reader makers any time soon.

E Ink managed to get the color filters closer to the E Ink microcapsules, which means that more light is reflected from the displays. Coupled with the front-light technologies, the displays look better then before.
