Here's a nice video from CES showing the new color E Ink display as used in the Hanvon reader, and also a color Mirasol display. It's nice to compare them:

Here's a nice video showing 3 different Point-of-Purchase (POP) samples that use E Ink SURF (segmented) displays:
Check out this video showing an e-reader (E Ink) platform based on Freescale's i.MX508 chipset. The page refresh rates are great compared to what's available on the market today.
A couple of weeks ago E Ink and Freescales announced that they will jointly develop a color e-reader platform based on the same i.MX508 chipset.
E Ink announced that their color displays will be named Triton. They say that they will actually be faster than the current displays (by 20%) and consume only a little more power than their monochrome displays. Here's a short video E Ink released explaining all about Triton:
Hanvon will release a color e-reader in March 2011, and this will probably be the first Triton device.
Update: It seems that Nemoptic is bankrupt, and even their site is not online anymore...
Nemoptic has released a video showing their new active-matrix e-paper prototype:
There isn't a lot of information on this monochrome display, but we'll keep watching.
Sriram Peruvemba, VP of marketing at E-ink is showing new plastic-based flexible display prototypes. This is a long video, in which he also shows all sorts of other E Ink based displays :
Check out this nice video showing how Liquavista's displays behave outdoors. This short clip shows a couple of displays and a regular LCD (the laptop in th top-right). The liquavista's display are better, of course:
Delta Electronics is showing their color e-paper displays (using Bridgeston's technology). There's a 13.1" display, and a smaller panel for e-tags:
Seiko has announced a new EPD Watch that has an Active-Matrix E Ink display. It's the world's first phone with such a display (there are already some with segmented E Ink "Surf" displays). The display has 80,000 pixels (300dpi) and 4 gray levels. The watch can display the time, date and a world-clock option with a nice photo of the earth.
Update: we've got a video of the new prototype displays, see below
PVI is now showing 6" and 9.7" color E Ink displays for e-readers at a trade show in Shenzhen, China. The displays are demoing animated color clips, although the refresh rate is not fast enough for video. PVI has shown those screens to Amazon and Barnes & Noble, although they won't say whether there are any plans to use them in future e-readers.
PVI predicts mass-production to start 4Q 2010. The new PVI screens add an extra layer of color-filtering glass on top of a standard E Ink panel. The color screens consume more energy than monochrome ones. PVI also displayed new flexible displays, made from plastic which could make readers lighter and harder to break.
