Philips Research scientists have developed a way to display high-definition moving pictures on flexible electronic paper.

The “electrowetting” process allows pixels to switch states in around 10 milliseconds — fast enough to generate 100 new images a second. And the high reflectivity and contrast of the wetting displays make them four times as bright as LCDs.
