Bill: OT (kind of): The manufacturers of traditional LCD TFT screens are going to have some serious competition from this outfit, which could well revolutionize the market for small screen displays: alientechnology.com Take a look at the technology, which is about to move into demo production. Also check out who the VC's and corporate backers are. And note the initial target market: The company's initial products will be small reflective displays targeted at high-volume hand-held devices.... This one has been on my watch list for some time, as soon as they get through the next development phase, they'll IPO the company for sure. David T.

Bill Cotter (OT) - re: KOPN - Couldn't get to its competitor's website as linked by David T. (www.alientechnology.com - just got a bracket, i.e., a <[>). However, Gemplus (France) has a press release describing how Alien's Fluidic Self-Assembly (FSA) technology will allow a display on smartcards. Makes me wish I'd stayed in engineering instead of switching to law. 8-) gemplus.com (Aside - Mang, how'd Bill think to let you know about Kopin, anyway? I don't recall you mentioning displays here other than a comment or two on who's making the color screens for PALM/MSpockPC/iPAQ, etc. And, how'd David know about Alien Tech? You don't really have to answer - I was just wondering since it is all such a puzzlement.) Regards, Harry
