Color Electrophoretic Display
Until now, the only way to get "full" color from an EPD -- at least the only way that E Ink has shown us -- is placing a matrix color filter in front of the monochrome display. E Ink showed the way forward a few years ago with a black, white, and red display, which managed to control particles of three different colors using differences in mobility and a cleverly designed controlling waveform. At Display Week 2016, E Ink introduced an impressive expansion of this approach, in which particles of four different colors are included within each microcapsule, given different mobilities through different sizing, and driven with a pulsed controlling wave movement that permits the creation of thousands of colors, as explained by E Ink's Giovanni Mancini. The resulting display showed impressively bright and saturated colors and drew crowds. When a new image was written, the display would flash several times. It took about 10 seconds for a new image to build...
