New e-Paper Display Offers Faster Page Refresh Times, Better Color

Here comes a new e-paper display technology, which, as its makers claim, offers a significant improvement over the e-paper display that E Ink has to offer. Developed by Guangzhou OED Technologies Inc., the new e-paper display offers almost an all-around improvement over E-Ink displays. That includes a better refresh rate and a more diverse colour spread, which naturally translates to a better user experience.

The fast-switching electrophoretic material system and high-speed image processing algorithms allow for improved page turn speeds. The new e-paper display uses a colour gradation technique for displaying images, which leads to vibrant colour reproduction. The display is also of higher resolution than the e-paper display based on single-colour dot spatial dithering mixing technology.

The superior visual experience also results from using several ghosting removal technologies. What is unique here is that the technology eliminates the remnants of the previous display and predicts the ghosting effect to ensure a more comprehensive elimination of the impact. No wonder the page refresh times, too, have improved to 17 milliseconds, twice the current industry standard.

“The use of infinite continuous partial refresh technology enables users to enjoy a smooth and comfortable visual experience during rapid browsing and reading, said Chen Yu, founder and general manager of OED Guangzhou OED Technologies Inc.

The display supports capacitive and electromagnetic stylus operations for note-taking. It can recognize touch and stylus inputs. Also, using dynamic waveform technology, handwriting latency is less than 10 milliseconds.

The company also recently unveiled the Xueyisheng X1 e-note device featuring its latest breakthrough e-paper display. It remains to be seen how the display fares in real life. Stay tuned.
