Wallsized electronic paper / electronic ink demonstration

"Yomiuri Global Newspaper - Electronic Paper" is a wall-sized (2.2 meters high and 2.6 meter wide) newspaper utilizing E Ink Electronic Paper technology exhibited by Toppan Printing at EXPO 2005, Aichi.

Incredible. Think of the possibilities for art projects. This demonstration of a wall-sized newspaper was made from 272 Electronic Paper tiles. They also cheated by embedding a flat screen TV among the tiles to include video.

Seems the most logical use of this is for handheld newspapers, journals and other periodical materials, but imagine the possibilities for new media work.
