On Tuesday at the FPD International 2010 trade show in Tokyo, Hanvon, a Chinese company, will announce that it will be the first to sell a color display using technology from E Ink, whose black-and-white displays are used in 90 percent of the world’s e-readers.

The new color E Ink display  is not as sharp and colorful as LCD, and cannot handle full-motion video.

Hanvon’s first product using a 9.68-inch color touch screen will be available this March in China, starting at about $440.
