E Ink has presented the first full-color electronic paper in the world

The company E Ink, which invented the modern type electronic paper, presented Advanced Color ePaper technology (ACeP) - a high-quality full-color display e-ink (32 000 colors)

.


The first electronic paper is capable of displaying an arbitrary color for every pixel without color filter array. Until now, there was nothing like this, and the company E Ink reasonably believes that the color electronic paper with ultra low power consumption to make a real revolution in the market of gadgets, portable and wearable electronics, displays, etc.

ACeP electronic paper displays full color gamut, including all eight primary colors, except for using different color pigments.

The principle of
The display consists of a single layer of the electrophoretic fluid, which is controlled by a voltage comparable with the voltage TFT commercial TFT LCD displays.



Liquid collected or microcapsules or Microcup structure. A variety of colors is achieved by concentration of colored pigment in each pixel - this Unlike conventional color filter arrays, where pixel group composed of adjacent elements of different color. This eliminates the problem with the damping of light that may be significant.

As well as the usual electronic paper, full-color ACeP maintains ultra-low power consumption and readability as a conventional paper in all lighting conditions.

Unlike other attempts to make multi-color e-paper, which uses sophisticated multi-layer structure, the engineers managed to develop the E Ink display a simple single-layer structure. The Secret - in a patented technology for the control of multi-colored pigment in this layer
