Several eTextbook devices, including the Ectaco Jetbook Color, Hanvon e.pbooks C920 and the Plastic Logic 100, will be available for viewing. Both the Ectaco and Hanvon devices feature E Ink Triton, which won the 2011 SID Display of the Year Gold award, and the 2011 Wall Street Journal Innovation Award for Consumer Electronics Category.

E Ink will also showcase products currently in mass production, such as the latest eReaders, including the Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook Touch, Kobo Touch, Sony Reader Wi-Fi, and Hanvon e.pbooks E920, and many non-eReader applications, such as watches, USB drives and cell phones.

In addition, E Ink will preview a new ePaper sign which incorporates the company’s segmented SURF display. This display will utilize the reflectivity of ePaper in a low and high ambient environment. E Ink will also showcase the 300dpi ePaper display module driven by Epson’s latest display controller, which is intended for eDocument applications.
