E-ink
From bildr
E-ink or Electronic ink is a revolution in display technology.
E-ink displays are very flexable and virtually indestructable as shown :- www.eink.com/rugged.html
"E Ink displays are easier to read than backlit displays, because they mimic the appearance of ink on paper."
E-ink is also green as it uses less power.
A 12” LCD-equipped device uses, in 20 hours, the equivalent of 36 AA batteries while an E Ink 12-inch display uses just one battery's worth.
This is a new technology and is still evolving. The latest incarnations are colour opening out the field of usage a lot more.
