If you’ve been reading physical books for a while and you’re looking to transition to digital copies, you might want to check out an E-Ink device. Read on to learn more about E-Ink, its benefits, and where the technology is going.
E-Ink and How it Works
E-ink, also known as “electronic ink” or “electronic paper,” is a type of display technology known for its low power consumption and visual similarity to ink on paper. These features make it a perfect fit for many e-readers, such as Amazon Kindle and Kobo devices.
Unlike traditional display devices like LED and TN, which often comprise individual pixels that each display a color, e-ink devices are much more reliant on fascinating chemistry. E-Ink displays are made of a thin film on top of millions of small capsules filled with a bunch of particles floating in a clear fluid. These particles are all colored a specific pigment: in greyscale displays, those pigments will be either black or white.
But our E-ink cases have more colors. Not only white and black. Red color too and when it mix, you can get pink and other colors
