Unbreakable e-ink screens The main (one might say, monopoly) manufacturer of e-ink screens , E Ink Holdings Inc. , mastered the production of screens on a plastic basis. Such screens do not break in typical situations when the destruction of a conventional glass-based screen would be inevitable. Nevertheless, it is also possible to spoil such a screen, it just takes a lot of effort to do this . 🙂
