SEIKO’s e-ink display watch

Seiko, the Japanese watch company, is making watches with e-ink displays. So what exactly is the e-ink technology?

Well, this technology that comes with an active matrix display — the same type of screen technology behind your typical LCD panel. Using active matrix, all of the legibility and low-power consumption benefits of e-ink are combined with a much richer range of imagery and data display. The “Future Now” watch renders 80,000 pixels in four shades of gray, providing 300 dpi resolutions for intensely sharp and clear images even within the restricted dimensions of a wristwatch screen. The unique electronic paper display module in this Seiko watch is the result of a joint development effort, bringing together E Ink's 'electronic ink' technology and Seiko Epson's advanced display manufacturing and electronic circuitry techniques. When combined, these technologies offer a wide range of display design possibilities - including flexibility!

Is it the E-ink newspaper or the iPaper?

No more shouting at your pet dog cause he chewed up you newspaper. No more getting hit by the newspaper boy who directly aimed the roll of newspaper at your face :). No more piling up newspapers in the garage cause here is the E-ink concept which might just have the newspapers fade away!

Now, a couple of weeks back I had mentioned about a SEIKO’s e-ink display watch where the e-ink technology was explained. Using the similar concept here is a newspaper that uses E-ink with a semi-transparent surface which creates a display on a surface that looks just like a newspaper, but won’t leave any black ink residue on your hands.

Here is the THEME of this gadget: 
A device that truly considers the daily scenarios of our audience as they engage with news content.
