E Ink Imaging Film




High Resolution Active Matrix Displays made with E Ink's Vizplex Imaging Fim have a number of distinctive benefits over existing technologies. Commonly referred to as Electronic Paper Displays, EPD displays are reflective and can be easily read in bright sunlight or dimly lit environments while being able to be seen at virtually any angle - just like paper.

The black and white ink-on-paper look, combined with a resolution in excess of most competitive display technologies, EPDs give the display an appearance similar to that of the most widely read material on the planet - newspaper. Because the display uses power only when an image is changed, E Ink High Resolution Displays have extended battery life over other types of displays. The unique technology also results in a compact and lightweight form factor making it ideal for highly portable applications.
