Samsung showcased its new thin, lightweight, and power-efficient Color E-Paper display in a video, sparking fan interest in seeing the technology used in phones, e-readers, and tablets, though the company has not announced any plans to do so yet.
E Ink has revealed its latest color electronic paper panels, Spectra 6, with color reproduction that looks almost as good as what you can get in LCDs. Spectra 6 can display up to six different color particles in each microcapsule, and it will be available in a variety of sizes with a contrast ratio of 30:1 and resolutions up to 200 pixels per inch. While it will be quite a few years before the Spectra 6 technology trickles down to consumer devices, it promises to be a big step forward for digital signage, where imagery can be occasionally swapped out and easily updated without the hassle of having to get something physically printed.
