The real next generation of display is eInk's Gallery/ACeP screens. These have 4 different colours of particle in a microcup and by positioning the particles, you can generate more colours than Kaleido 3 is capable of and without reducing the display resolution. The problem is that positioning those particles is a slow process. It can take up to 1.5 seconds to rewrite a colour page in quality mode.
For the construction of the ACeP display, see this image from eInk's site:
ACeP microcup since the animated GIF gets converted to a jpg when I try using it as an attached image. |
If only it was easy to pull out the CFA layer from the Libra Colour. Then we'd have a Libra BW.
