What They Say
E Ink announced the latest version of its Kaleido colour electrophoretic display technology. It is claimed to have ‘richer colours’ (4096) based on 16 greyscale levels and using black and white E Ink with colour filters. It has a new front light system which reduces the level of blue light that is reflected.
The E Ink Kaleido 3 module is available in various panel sizes, including 7.8-inch, 10.3-inch, and 13.3-inch. The responsiveness of the ink enables the module to play animations and videos, the firm claimed, providing new options for digital reading and writing in educational and professional applications. The 13.3″ E Ink Kaleido 3 ePaper can also be used as outdoor advertising signage.
What We Think
Hmmm, I just spotted this release and was surprised to see the comment that the modules could show video. What the release doesn’t set out is the frame rate that it would support. I have reached out to try to clarify the rate supported and look forward to actually seeing the new displays at Display Week. It will also be shown at Touch Taiwan later this month. (BR)
