Optical teardown of a Kindle Paperwhite display by OCT

twowheels · 05-01-2020, 02:02 PM

I just stumbled across this fascinating paper detailing eInk and the light diffusing layer in an entirely new way that I've never seen before:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1605.05174.pdf

As somebody who work on medical device development, I found it interesting to see OCT imaging used in this way. :-) (Axsun, the apparent employer of the authors was wholly owned by a company that I worked for before, and we were using their OCT lasers for medical devices)

This is probably of general interest, but I stuck it in the Kindle forum because it is the Kindle display that they're tearing down.

This was posted in Jan 2019 in the amazon kindle thread:

Maybe this thread should be moved to general, since it is of general interest, or merged with the existing thread.

Ah, ooops... well, maybe others missed it back then too.

I suspect that is the case.
