How do E Ink displays work?
Let's take a look at how E Ink technology works and how displays are able to update. If you can understand how magents work, then you're basically an expert already!

    @humanperson8418 Před 7 měsíci

    Why use both black and white particles instead of just black particles and use the fluid they're suspended in be responsible for the white (or visa versa)? It would allow faster instant updates with 0 risk of colour ghosting or need for flashing. So why isn't this a thing?

    I think the particles for the colored displays all have to have different masses because otherwise the particles would move horizontally symmetrically, as shown in the animation. I think the stacking algorithm would be, that at first it changes the charge so often that the particles with the highest mass are on the right spot and then it does the same procedure suczessively down to the particle with the lowest mass.

    some years ago, i've seen a video of a guy showing his invention at a convention. It was a color ink display that was able to refresh so fast that it was possible to watch videos smoothly. So i guess over 30 frames. He was explaining his panted and how the technology works quite thorough. I wonder very much what happend to it. Do you know what i am talking about?

    This video, according to the title, was to demonstrate the Pimoroni Explorer. However, 80% of the time were instructions on how to install the Build&Compile Tools for Pi Pico. Perhaps in the future you can name the video based on its major content or split multi-content in separate videos. Or give the viewer pointer/index information to the relevant content. Good video.

      Have a look at the Waveshare website if you’re buying 1 display, or alternatively contact E Ink if buying in bulk, sub $5 is possible if you’re buying enough panels, depends on size of course.

    I have really crazy ideas for the usage of E-Ink, but it's a shame that it feels somewhat stifled of a tech. E-Ink the company itself does the most innovation (and costing a lot) while others lag behind. So much to do still...

  • @KM____________
    @KM____________ Před rokem

    all they need to do is make the full update less jaring, imagine a wash from top to bottom... So many researchers would switch to reading articles on e-ink straight away. Sometimes I don't understand why companies can't make a useful product.

    An E-ink 2-bit display in an old Game boy would be fun. The old Game Boy display is super ghosty too, but E-ink would be so much clearer and look interesting. Maybe we'll have fast enough displays soon.

  • @MsHojat
    @MsHojat Před rokem

    Is it not possible to have black and white e-ink displays to have their whites be retroreflective? It seems like a good way to increase readability in some cases where one might want an extra-bright display or better visibility in the dark.

    • @jamianh4502
      @jamianh4502 Před rokem

      I'm sure it's possible, although I don't think a retro-reflective "background" would provide a significant advantage over simply increasing the brightness/purity of the white. Plus by nature of how it would bounce light back I could see it causing unwanted irritation from different brightness values if there's a light source behind the reader.

  • @Camelotsmoon
    @Camelotsmoon Před rokem

    I'm a big believer in e-ink. Just imagining stretching e-ink too its absolute limits just sounds amazing to me if someone could pull it off. Just imagine, a blazing fast refresh speed that sips battery; that paired with future battery tech, I could imagine a phone lasting a month or longer without a charge. Watches would be a great place for e-ink also... I've sworn off electronic watches just because I don't want to have 57 different things I need to charge everynight, but I'd be open to an e-ink one. Color is another thing I'm excited to see in E-ink... I've heard whispers of color screens, but not too much. Color would be great also.

  • @yurkshirelad

  • @bingusbongus9807
    @bingusbongus9807 Před rokem

    how far do you think e-ink will progress in the coming years or decades?? im very curious what someone with expertise thinks, will e-inks ever become good enough to be laptop displays for example? or is it simply impossible despite whatever innovation or technological increase there is.

  • @kennylex
    @kennylex Před rokem

    Is there any large screen that can be used to show calendar and reminder like a black board? After a stroke I need something that is always on, easy to read and shall not be updated too often, something that is like a cork board or a black board I can mount on a fridge or a door?

  • @Pedro76mchlkg
    @Pedro76mchlkg Před rokem

    Why e-readers are so grayish?

  • @tarassu
    @tarassu Před rokem

    Are there simple e-ink displays that are good for direct outdoor use? Display that works between -25*C up to +40*C in shade plus direct sunshine (that means UV resistant). Water ingress IP65 at least I think. Controlling it can be done from inside device case (controller can be inside) but wiring must be simple (flat ribbon is not robust enough). Black/white, update speed within 3 seconds.

  • @sirspamalot4014
    @sirspamalot4014 Před rokem

    I want to get one of these as it stands and use it as a display in a laptop for coding. I spend so long looking at a screen these days I'm getting bad eye strain, but would need colour for all the different labels or it'd be a bit of a nightmare to read.
