Back in 2013, Samsung sold LiquaVista, its electrowetting display unit, to Amazon (Samsung itself bought Liquavista in 2011). Electrowetting enables low-power non-volatile color e-paper displays, but the technology has not been commercialized yet.
According to Good-E-Reader, Amazon is now developing an 8″ color e-reader that uses an electrowetting display. Amazon plans to release this new e-reader towards the end of 2016. Amazon will produce these new displays in China – at the Beijing Century Joyo Information Technology’s fab in Shenzhen.
