EInk is a direct competitor of CLEARInk and comparisons are useful IMO.
I agree ACeP is not going to be a tablet display any time soon, and probably not even for an eReader screen. And maybe it never will be good for those applications. For signage (for static images) it seems good enough and offers many advantages over other electronic display tech. But if the ideal display is paper with color ink, this is perhaps the closest attempt so far. Eventually advances in nanotechnology may allow production of something better, performant, and cost effective (something like Mirasol gen 2 perhaps).
From what I’ve seen of the ‘hybrid’ approaches to reflective color (TFT+bistable), I am doubtful they will ever appear in consumer products (including educational applications). They just don’t look good to me, for reading or watching video or anything else. Perhaps they can get traction for construction, law enforcement, recreation, and military applications where readability outdoors, ruggedness and low power consumption outweigh desire or need for accurate color, performance, and affordability.
I am interested in how a B&W CLEARink display compares to EInk’s. Is there any such information?
