Enhanced Readability

E Ink Pearl creates a dramatic increase in contrast giving eReaders a contrast ratio close to a paperback book. The crisp text and detailed graphics are also highly readable in direct sunlight. Pearl's 16 levels of grey produce the sharpest rendering of images with smooth tones and rich detail.

Improved Speed

Turning pages in eReaders using E Ink technology today is somewhat fast, typically in under a second, but with E Ink Pearl, a page turn can happen in a fraction of that time. Imagine what this enhanced performance can mean for applications such as eMagazines where scanning from article to article is common. In addition, E Ink Pearl supports localized animation for more enticing advertising content for eNewspaper or eMagazines and a richer educational experience in eTextbooks.

Lowest Power Consumption

E Ink makes the lowest power displays in the eReader industry. And Pearl advances that capability with next generation performance. Unlike other technologies, E Ink is bi-stable, which means it needs no power to hold an image or page of text. No need for bookmarks— an E Ink Pearl-equipped reader can hold a page for weeks or even months, with no discernable battery drain.
