How E Ink Works

- Picture this: a screen that doesn’t give you eye fatigue after staring at it for a long period of time, lasts for weeks on a single charge, and offers glorious full color.
Picture this no longer-this is reality. E Ink is finally in color, and 2020 could finally be E Ink’s year to shine. E Ink devices with color displays, like the Hisense A5C and the PocketBook Color, are beginning to hit the market, opening up the use cases for these devices. Imagine reading a comic book or manga on a full-color ereader. Pretty wicked, right?
E Ink was introduced in the late ‘90s, so this is isn’t exactly new technology blowing bloggers’ minds. But it is pretty damn cool, even today.
E Ink consists of basically the same type of liquid that comes in a pen. But instead of depositing the ink on paper like humans have done for hundreds of years, E Ink comes in tiny capsules the diameter of a single human hair. Within these capsules, pigments-commonly black and white-are bonded with a positive or negative charge. To make something visible on an E Ink display, an electrical field charge is sent to the bottom of the display, repelling and attracting the ink within millions of capsules until an image is produced.

My hope is continued improvement on resolution & color depth -- because color e-ink would be perfect for digital art frames. With no glare or backlight, the average person could have believable museum-quality artwork on-demand in their home.
Oh damn! That’s a cool idea! I never considered that aspect of eink... it could be a much better version of those digital photo albums... a much more natural look.
My dream with those screens is to make a multi-game arcade cabinet that uses an e-ink display at the sides to display the same artwork the arcades had on the 80s and 90s
Bro you do know art prints exist right? if you want a static high resolution image then just print it
yes
Nah becauss color accuracy is sucks
I bought an E ink reader today and was curious as to why I wasn’t getting eye fatigue after hours of reading, like I used to have when I read on my phone after 30 minutes, so thanks bc you really cleared that up for me. And I think it’s really going to be the future of technology once it’s improved well enough.
E-ink with a usable refresh rate and colour would be SICK
I'd change my computer screens right away, maybe it'd work for gaming too.
@@skudde4849 think bigger implement this technology for soldiers to wear that would adapt into the environments color depth and shape.
After a bad concussion last year, I can’t look at regular screens very long without eye and head pain. E ink is a game changer for people like me. I’ve always thought it was fascinating, and it baffles me why there are so many filters and glasses out there to help our eyes cope with LCD screens, instead of making screens like this that don’t hurt us.
100% agree. I have the same problem and I was desperate for months, I just found E-ink, I hope it will feel exactly like paper . I have a question, does E-INK emit any light?
@@itsnexx. he says in the video no. but while the e-ink itself doesn't emit light, the devices usually come with a front light. which is most likely adjustable.
@@Vary180 hi, thank you for answering. I have bought the Onyx Boox and I'm feeling good!
@@itsnexx. nice one
I am a huge nerd for E INK and I've been waiting for eink color for way too long...
It’s out now
Kobo is coming out with a Libra colour this month !
According to research, people generally learn better with paper than computer screen. And it could translate to better performance and effectiveness using EINK than LCD screens.
hope that e-ink technology will continue to improve. even if video will be poor quality it doesn't matter imo, when i work on a computer i have to spend so many hours a day looking at a screen and i don't even watch video. it could improve eye health for so many people.
With color this technology has a lot of possibilities
The main problem with this technology is the refresh rate of the frames, it's to slow and no good responsive. it won't worth to have color if the frame rate doesn't get any improvement
Giant eink monitor for big advertisement ... can it be used as Dasung monitor?
E ink corporation are paid by pharma corporate to not produce for Human Good Health ?
And are very expensive?
@@vaseline7487 shut up with your big pharma
@@moisesmaciel5123 for me the slower frame rate is a nice compromise in exchange for my eye health. Scrolling a PDF is pretty annoying yeah (especially multi-column), but still much better than burning eyes.
@@moisesmaciel5123 implement this technology for soldiers to wear that would adapt into the environments color depth and shape. It works the same principle as chromatophores
"softer edges and real ink look on the left" I see pixelated letters, that's what i see
make interview with clearink company that is in usa that makes now eink color pc monitor
e ink color pc monitor ?😮
when are they going to release it ?
I thought this was linus for a seccond lol
I'm a huge fan of E ink. It's easier on my eyes and I've used a kindle for years and they have to best think for my eyes
They don't work very well in cold weather. I have a Sony smartband talk which has an e ink screen when it's about 1°C it struggles. You can see the screen doing multiple refreshes.. I assume that's because the pigment is suspended in a liquid
I love the production value put into this video.
Saving eyes health. This is the future!
Colour’s still isn’t on kindle. I’m waiting for that. :)
PocketBook Color has been out for a few years. I have one. They’re great.
Honestly a part of my wishes that e ink technology does not improve because then future e readers wouldnt have that sluggish feel that kinda convinces you into treating the device like a book
Is the book at 0:42 Unmasked by Andy Ngo? Great book.
Looking forward to the advancement of this display technology.
How the heck do they even make capsules that tiny??
Nanotechnology.
Very well explained and animated. Love the bean animation :-) e-ink screens could be a screen standard if they can become as nearly as fast as LED/LCD's
A tablet with a good quality screen like oled and a color eink layer that you can switch between will have my money
I hope this technology becomes better and less expensive
Three years later... and nothing really new happened. Amazon still makes black and white Kindles and some improvement you find in products made in Asia.
Great informative video with subtle humor, I like it.
I love this technology ! ❤ No harm to eyes.
I've been waiting for a color Kindle but they are dragging their feet and it's making me crazy.
I swear I’ve drawn that house before
They used this technology recently on a BMW...a car!!!!
That must jack the car industry prices wayyy up
My man, in Brasil we need an eink phone. And not to make calls, but to use Uber. We are now totally dependent on Uber.
Personally, I much prefer my ereader and iPad/tablet to be separate devices. The iPad Pro is a huge device (even the 'smaller' model) at little over 2x larger than my Kindle. Premium devices like iPad are also made of aluminum which is heavy unlike the lightweight plastic of the Kindle/Pocketbook.
Then you have devices like the Kindle Oasis that have an ergonomic design and physical page-turn buttons.
Would an e-ink iPad be great? Sure! Especially for artists looking for that paper-like feel but even with color those displays would pale in comparison to even a sub-1080p 60hz display. Can you imagine going from OLED/120hz to e-ink? Maybe in 5-10 years but by then LED displays will already be going to a territory that e-ink won't be able to touch.
e ink can be used for adaptive camulfage like chromatophores on squid
You sound like Linus Tech tipS!!
I was hoping you'd discuss how colour e-ink works rather than the standard black and white.
Very good 👍
You welcome bro, you deserve more
Is oled safer on eyes?
No. It just has a wider color gamut. So blacker blacks & whiter whites.
How does color eink work then
Same way as old newspaper comics, except, due to magnetic ink, the image can change. Think old CRT TVs with RGB pixels.
Spiderman never looked better
An iPad with an advance e-ink display!! Dream On
It would be nice but it probably won’t happen.
Unless if e-ink display becomes popular then I am sure Apple will follow it.
@@JamButter123 Knowing Apple it will never happen
@@JamButter123 Maybe
If you prefer to read rather than media junk, color e-ink has little use...it’s just luxury. All you need is letters, and letters work best when they’re black over a white background...just like when paper and ink were invented. Haha!!!
Plenty of books have cover and back art, maps, diagrams and the like that would be nice to see in color.
Still surprise enough how eink is slowly developing when human robots are rapidly improved already….!
There’s only so much to improve. It’s really just adding higher DPI & color. They’ll never be good at anything that needs to refresh the screen like web pages or games.
you look very smart
Thank you Peter I love you
So interesting!! Never knew about this
How does E-Ink even exist with OLED?
It doesn’t. Totally different technologies.
When this displays are fully developed itll be the holy grail of technology
That's super vague
Lol, this is awesome tech..
yes
This guy sounds a lot like Linus
Sheep 🐑 knows where the grass’ at 🍀
Cool
😘😘
why aren't we funding this?
"is it LGBT friendly?!" LOL
edu ama
I swear these ppl are missing the point of ereaders .. no, we don't want it to gave i9 and play gta6 .. it's the sam sh they complain about switch
bububu bobobo... bibi
You failed in doing what you tried to do here
FIRST
Why would anyone wanted e- ink i think its the mark of the beast people
Fucking what?
@@barahng he's nutts
