[ via MobileRead Forums] Press Release: iRex Technologies Developing a High Quality, Full Color Digital  Reader.  Eindhoven, 2 June 2009 ‐ The world’s leading provider of e‐reading solutions, Netherlands‐based iRex Technologies ( www.irextechnologies.com ), announced  new progress on development of a next generation of color, writable ultra‐thin digital readers expected to launch mid 2011. This news reaffirms and substantiates  iRex’s position as a leading innovator in the digital reading market following their 2008  launch of the  iRex DR1000.  Leading the way for others, the DR1000 was the first commercially available ‘writable’ digital reader with a 10.2 inch screen.  Speaking at  the Society  for  Information Display  (SID) conference  in San Antonio, TX  (USA),  iRex’s  leading display expert  Alex  Henzen,  confirmed  the  company’s  commitment  to  push  the  boundaries  of  electrophoretic  display technology in order to meet consumer demand for competitively priced, high quality digital readers.  “The ultimate  goal of  an  electronic paper display  is  to mimic  the  appearance of pigment on paper.  This means more  than  just  bright  color,  the  reflection  also  has  to  be  diffuse,“  explained  Henzen.  “iRex’s  subtractive  color mixing  technology will allow us  to produce a wide  range of colors  in high  resolution  to deliver magazine‐quality color to our e‐reader customers. ]]> E-reader manufacturer iRex have announced  [pdf link] that they intend to have a color, writable ebook reader on the market by 2011.  The device, which is currently unnamed, will use a system of  subtractive color mixing which, according to iRex, results in three times the brightness of existing additive color electrophoretic displays.  Details on the subtractive e-ink technology are scant, but it is compared to physical printing whereby colors act as filters to absorb portions of white light striking them and reflect back the desired hue.  The additive system, meanwhile, mixes together backlit or illuminated colors to create hues, often requiring filters that can reduce overall quality. iRex believe that their subtractive e-ink displays will offer print-quality visuals to magazines and other full-color publications, and push them ahead of the crowd.  Meanwhile color e-paper producers have reportedly  delayed their launches to 2010, in the face of technical issues.
