t was shortly after Pixel Qi chief Mary Lou Jepsen tipped specialized tablets with multitouch back in December 2009 that we got our first glimpse of the Notion Ink Adam, and so forgive us for getting excited when the CEO confirms several more panel customers and different display sizes in the pipeline. Speaking to E-Ink-Info, Jepsen wouldnt confirm which new companies had signed up to use the hybrid display but did say that theyre going into a variety of new product categories.

Pixel Qi have announced that their first batch of production displays will be ready shortly, and confirmed that the first recipients for the panels will be specialized tablet devices with multi-touch. Project lead Mary Lou Jepsen does not reveal the identity of the manufacturer using the Pixel Qi screens which work as color LCDs in regular lighting, but can be read as easily as e-ink panels in direct sunlight but did say that the companys customers will be at
She also says that increasingly these screens will be super-slim, but some customers prefer the standard thickness. It seems likely that one or more or Pixel Qis initial customers would use the displays for ebook readers, since the technology would both support video and low-power text display.
