More than a decade after the first color, electronic paper displays popped up at CES 2010, the technology's chief innovator E Ink has built a color panel capable of powering ereaders, smartphones, retail signage displays, and, now, even monitors.
This week, Chinese electronics manufacturer Dasung unveiled what it's calling The World's First E Ink Monitor which features a 25.3-inch Kaleido 3 color E Ink display. Based on details in the company's Indiegogo funding campaign, the 25.3-inch display supports 4,096 colors and a resolution of up to 3,200 x 1,800. That sounds good but it should be noted that the number is likely based on Kaleido 3's 300ppi rating. Essentially it's the same resolution you'll find on your best Amazon Kindle reader. On the other hand, that ppi beats Apple's Studio Display, which has a resolution of 5,120 x 2,880 and 218 pixels per inch.
