Pervasive Displays e-paper

Pervasive Displays, available through Glyn High-Tech Distribution, provides a line of e-paper display (EPD) modules ranging in size from 1.44 to 10.2″. The panel includes a TFT backplane, e-paper film, a protective sheet, COG driver-ICs and an FPC connector.

Within the range, the 2.7″ panel has resolution of 264 x 176 (117 dpi). It is suitable for mobile devices requiring slightly larger and higher-resolution displays or electronic price tags for higher-end data rich products.

Electronic paper is considered to be more comfortable to read than conventional displays. This is due to the stable image, which does not need to be refreshed constantly, the wider viewing angle and the fact that it reflects ambient light rather than emitting its own light. A good e-paper display can be read in direct sunlight without the image appearing to fade. The contrast ratio in available displays is similar to that of newspaper, though newly developed implementations are said to be slightly better.

E-paper is suitable for applications where the user needs minimal power consumption, such as battery-powered applications. These include electronic pricing labels in retail shops, general signage, timetables at bus stations, electronic billboards, mobile phone displays and e-readers capable of displaying digital versions of books and e-paper magazines. E-paper retains its image even without power for a long time (up to several years) and only consumes power during image updates and refresh. Images such as QR codes are also scannable.

Sample e-paper displays and development kits are available from Glyn. An RF development kit for e-paper is also available.
