Electrowetting Full-Color E-Ink Display InkSwitch Unveiled: Sunlight-Readable Color Displays Achieve Mass Production
Netherlands-based CLEARink Displays unveiled the InkSwitch electrowetting full-color e-ink display on July 8. The technology uses electric fields to control the distribution of colored ink droplets within pixel cells, retaining e-ink's sunlight readability and ultra-low power consumption while achieving full color and a 30Hz refresh rate for the first time.
InkSwitch achieves a reflectance of 65% (compared to approximately 5% for traditional LCD) and remains clearly readable under direct sunlight. Power consumption is only one-tenth that of an equivalently sized LCD. The first products are 6-inch and 10.3-inch flat panel display modules targeting outdoor digital signage and e-book readers. Amazon has signed a letter of intent with CLEARink to use the technology in the next-generation Kindle.
