E Ink launches an outdoor version of its Kaleido 3 ePaper technology

A year ago E Ink Holdings announced its Kaleido 3 color ePaper technology, which improved the color saturation by 30% compared the previous-generation Kaleido Plus (which was launched in March 2021). The Kaleido 3 display is based on E Ink's Print Color ePaper technology, where a color filter array (CFA) is used in conjunction with E Ink’s Carta black and white ink film.

Now EIH announced a new version of this display, called Kaleido 3 Outdoor, which is designed specifically for Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising signage and is suitable for outdoor use in a wide temperature range (-16 to 65 degrees). The wide temperature range allows it to operate in extremely cold or hot areas without the need for expensive, high-energy-consuming heating or cooling devices, reducing additional power consumption.

The i Vision DEE is covered with 240 panels, capable of showing 32 colors according to BMW (a bit strange as E Ink says the Prism 3 offers a palette of 8 colors only). Anyway this is a pretty nice concept, that builds on BMW's iX Flow shown a year before and covered with similar panels, but with monochrome (grayscale) Prism panels.
