Advanced Color ePaper (ACeP) sounds interesting, but with a 3 second update time, it still needs an order of magnitude improvement in update time to be useful in an eReader.

Really useful? I guess it would also depend on the fastest "waveform" available (e.g. some "A2 single ink"), the fastest way we would currently have to somehow update the screen. Three seconds is for the full page at full quality. JustTint and JustWrite, well they may not be directly linked to mobile reading right now, but it is still very interesting technological progress being made - I was not not aware of it. Nice news and good news. Last edited by mdp; 05-22-2019 at 07:28 AM. |

3 seconds lol
that's useless for an e-reader, I wouldn't find acceptable anything over 500ms and is already high |

Then there is color eink. Its been talked about for over 10 years and still hasn't come to market in a viable consumer device. Let's look at regular e-ink, Oynx Boox Nova Pro costs $320 for a 8" screen, great for reading, that's about it. No color. Onyx Boox Note Pro $600 for a 10" screen, great for reading, that's about it. No color. So when the $1,000+ color e-ink screen comes out who is going to buy it? A few hundred people probably, which is why it has never come out. There is no market for it. At least not one large enough to cover the cost of production. Where are they at with production? "E Ink was showcasing ACeP in both 26” and 13.3”, both of which are now in production, and an advanced display demonstrating a less than 3 second update time for a new color image." 3 second refresh time? Good luck with that. So you'll be waiting another 10 years for them, just don't hold your breath. Last edited by junkyardwillie; 05-23-2019 at 06:57 PM. |

I think my Nova (used mostly for reading epub and pdf) it's totally ok for gmail and web browsing long read articles. I do that all the time. Given lack of a speaker or an audio jack i tend not to use it for video though. I use my Asus Zenpad 8 for that and for reading comics. Quote:
For a thousand dollar i won't even buy a foldable tablet. If they will produce something better then my Nova, for the same price, i will consider it. I thought Nova was expensive but it ended up being one of my best buy |

In ten years time the technological scenario may be profoundly different. Looking at the devices I have around, I cannot state I could foresee ten years ago what is available now. And similar fog covers the scenario in ten years time. Nonetheless, many effective directions have gone towards mobility. I do not see reasons for the trend to stop. And the displays are not there yet. Last edited by mdp; 05-26-2019 at 08:40 AM. |

Also, "signage" is not limited to advertisement and information for customers. Big reflective colour displays are sought of in home and office environments.

When I see the documentation of ACEP 13.3" it's possible to write a little program in linux bash to take a screen shot of firefox and invoice it to the ACEP screen and I think with a Dasung Paperlike or a big Onyx Boox to browse the web it will possible to have a picture in color and avoid eyes problems that could be usefull, the problem is the time at to wait, i read 3secondes and sometimes 25second and ofcourse the price nears/above 800$.
