I was reading about Japan's experiment with using e-Paper to provide disaster preparedness and tips on what to do during earthquakes, tsunamis and other catastrophic events
I am quite amazed at this application of e-Paper technology. I mean, it goes beyond devices to saving lives!

Wouldn't it be great to have the same here for all our schools, offices... what to do in case of a fire, or an earthquake...
This is a great development for e-paper. More like this and people would soon be familiar with just what e-paper is. :)
I get what you mean. People now are still generally clueless about e-paper technology and how it works. Hopefully, similar billboards could help the general public see it and its use for everyday lives.
You guys might also note that this is probably the biggest screens we've seen outside of concept products at trade shows. So this also signals the use of e-paper for bigger screens that what we are all used to.

yeah, we're used to looking at e-paper devices for our handheld devices... now it's more than lifesize
I can see advertisers putting up billboards and running up their whole campaigns on just one spot.

I don't think that would work. I think advertisers would want to spread the ads all over a city to make sure more people see them. Advertising-wise, I think e-paper would be great when you want to show catalogues, like your spring collection, or perhaps list down what's new and what's on sale at your store.
perhaps e-paper could be used to replace those boards at the airport too :)
that would be nice, and then they could allow us to interact with the flight information board to search for our own flights so we don't have to wait around to know when the flight is leaving, or if its delayed :)
we're seeing a new application for e-paper technology. am sure there are bound to be other applications for this great new technology...
