Just a question like that.

Eink is composed of tiny particles floating in a liquid. Is it possible that this liquid can leak or that it could slowly permeate through the retaining membrane? If so, logically the missing fluid would create a resistance for the grids that would prevent the particles from turning completely vertical ie. giving a grey tone instead of black.

An other idea is that the capacitor or whatever component giving the charge to the grids, is deteriorating and preventing a proper discharge.

Note that I have only basic knowledge of electronics. Is there someone here that could explain the working properties of eink displays? Also I would like to know how greytones are achieved .
