When displaying in colour, the white space has to be blacked out, letting light only through the colour printed area, hense halving the resolution., (and giving it that grainy, pixelated look for those looking very closely). A Very neatly done compromise, and a trick E-ink can do that lcd display can not.

Clearly, the creator is not a fan of the tech. Conversely, seeing how it works has made me want to get my hands on one all the more! |
Thank you for the video. The macro shot of ACeP/Gallery switching colour was mesmerising.
