DIY Electronic Paper Display

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the expensive-developer-toys dept.

An anonymous reader writes "LinuxDevices.com has an article about a development kit for prototyping device displays based on electronic paper technology. The kit includes a 170dpi, 6-inch (diagonal) SVGA (800 x 600) EPD (electronic paper display) module supporting four shades of gray, and a small computer module that runs the display. EPDs provide bright, high-contrast, thin, lightweight displays that remain legible under 'any lighting condition' -- much like newsprint. Once an image has been 'printed,' no power is needed to hold it."

    that remain legible under 'any lighting condition'

    This sounds misleading - I bet they haven't tested the legibility when a nuke explodes 5km away.
