eink.jpg This is a superbly-realised piece of kit,  and while it remains a prototype it is the latest step on the road to digital paper.

The resolution is as fine as 3104 x 4128, with 385ppi, which as you can see gives quite an astonishing digital page.  Seiko Epson have produced the low-temperature polycrystal Si-TFT glass substrate, while E Ink provide the electronic ink – ink that carries a charge enabling it to be updated through electronics.

The first retail product using E Ink Corporation’s technology was available, and the company intend to dominate this sub-industry over the coming years.  If this image is evidence, they’re well on the way.
