E-PAPER DISPLAY MODULES

What Are CDS E Paper Display Modules?

E Paper Display Modules – E-Paper, also known as electronic paper or electronic ink display, has a paper-like high contrast appearance and an ultra-low power consumption and effectively mimics the appearance of ordinary ink on paper.

The display is an electronic replacement for traditional paper that we can use for reading things like books, magazines and more. E-Paper, much like real paper, reflects available ambient light (although they can also incorporate a front-light to improve readability in dark surroundings), thus uses much less power than traditional LCDs or OLEDs

The E-Paper pixels are bi-stable in that once they have been set at a particular grey or colour state will remain in the same display state almost indefinitely until they are forcibly changed. This is unlike LCDs or OLEDs which have to be continuously refreshed, whether they change state or not. As a result of this E-Paper displays can consume a fraction of the power any other display technology would require. It is quite possible to run a 32” diagonal, full 4K display, from a small battery or solar panel. The Kindle Paperwhite, which uses this technology, is advertised as being able to last for weeks without recharge.
