do you know who PVI is?

i don't and think most people don't either. so using that as the first word does a worse job at conveying the point. you'd have to click it anyway to find out who PVI is.

BUT, i do agree, i should have made it "e ink acquired by __", but I think it is okay to change the article name if the new name better conveys the importance(the important thing here is e ink).




Just out of curiosity, why is E Ink the important thing here? I'm located outside of the US and I don't know who either company is, so they both hold equal importance to me. Actually if I was from Taiwan, PVI would be the important thing to me.


good point. i've known about them for a decade(just by being from boston).

they make the screens in the kindle and sony ebook.


I was from the UK so Sker helped with the point I, apparently ineloquently, tried to make. I've only ever heard of E Ink in passing mention when discussions are made to the uses of ePaper in articles, if I wasn't into tech news as much as I am then I wouldn't have known that E Ink was a corporation at all.

Personally I knew who PVI was, but only because my dad's friend contracted in Singapore and then Taiwan. The thing that attracted me to the article was actually the dollar amount.
