few days ago that, Amazon unveiled the without clear that it would use the new generation of E-Ink screens. Amazon’s latest reading light loads indeed the new Carta screen falls within the Pearl screen used since 2010 on the reading lamps of different actors.
point on screen technology firm E-Ink
class=”c9″ not easy for novices to navigate the list of different views of world No. 1 electronic ink: Vizplex, Pearl, Mobius, Spectra, Aurora, Triton, and now Carta, these names mean nothing to the consumer and yet refer to different technologies in the same actor.
class=”c9″ If Vizplex, the older generation of E-Ink screens, screen is almost longer available on the current reading lights, the Pearl screen has it all with reading lights steadily for 3 years, with a version” “HD which extended longevity. This is the screen of most devices coming out this fall.
Recently, E-Ink also announced the Spectra technology, which incorporates an additional pigment (red as you can see), but is as the technology has Aurora (used in cold environments) class=”c12″> I had the opportunity to talk about these two technologies here.
was recently also talked a lot about Mobius, flexible displays and Sony E-Ink, used among others in watches connected or Digital Sony 13.3-inch slate . This flexible screen technology is compatible with Carta.
color: not really convincing
.
The Triton technology, now switched to version 2 is an electronic ink technology that deserved to be treated separately, since it gives access to color. For this E-Ink adds filters to provide a semblance of color (with a maximum reached in 4096 colors). Moreover, the official announcement of the bed jacket is expected imminently Pocketbook color Lux in Europe, first with integrated bed jacket and “affordable” lighting, which should be offered to 249 € .
class=”c9″ Despite the hopes raised in recent years by the E-Ink color technology, and the addition of the integrated (at least in Pocketbook) lighting, technical limits can still offer today a result worthy of the screens of our smartphones, tablets and other computers.
Carta, major changes in the electronic ink technology monochrome
new electronic ink from E-Ink display technology does not always relate to color, nor does it offers ultra-HD, technically feasible with a Pearl screen.
Carta focuses primarily due the contrast of the screen. ‘s why Amazon spoke of a better contrast with even whiter whites and blacker blacks. Improving announced is 50% compared to the last generation of Pearl screens, and a white with a 22% increase in capacity to reflect light background screen. Everything does not consume more energy than previous versions of the screen, while greatly improving the visual rendering.
In terms of the resolution, the new screen can theoretically go beyond 300 dpi, but that of the Kindle Paperwhite is identical to the previous resolution, which explains nobody saw that the Kindle had a new screen.
Faster refresh on all screens
class=”c9″ The refresh this page is specific to the electronic ink phenomenon that a black flash followed by a blank screen is visible when turning pages. This flash resets the electronic ink capsules, to avoid ghosting. Advances in recent years have helped to make this flash much less visible, and less frequent.
technology “Regal” goes even further, allowing he seems to spend a few pages in a chapter between each refresh.
What technologies
screens for the last reading lights
class=”c9″ The new Kindle Paperwhite is only for now equipped with this screen Carta, something that was officially announced in the press release of E-Ink.
class=”c16″
Regal technology seems well this is against the Aura Kobo and Sony PRS-T3, and therefore not directly related to Carta. S ccording to the site Good eReader The Regal technology is compatible with Pearl and Carta, but is not compatible with against Mobius screens. As for the Kobo Aura HD and screen that offers resolution of 265 dpi record is a Pearl screen is used, which demonstrates the possibility of the screen to go beyond the resolutions proposed today.
In the end, we understand better the E-Ink announced several months ago announced that many more coming. Difficult blow to major players in the field to successfully exit lines incorporating the latest technologies. This is a blow to Amazon’s competitors, which therefore has a step ahead of its competitors in this field.
