Taking an existing design and flipping it on its head, this new display type offers extremely low power draw yet high-quality colors.
A team from the Chalmers University of Technology claims to have made a breakthrough in sunlight-readable full-color displays, developing an ePaper display capable of “brilliant colors” — at a very low power draw.
“For reflective screens to compete with the energy-intensive digital screens that we use today, images and colors must be reproduced with the same high quality. That will be the real breakthrough,” explains Marika Gugole, doctoral student at the Chalmers University of Technology. “Our research now shows how the technology can be optimized, making it attractive for commercial use.”
