Portugal-based Ynvisible has released a new version of its ePaper displays. These new displays offer several exciting improvements over the company's previous generation panels.
- A 10X increase in cycle lifetime - which means the display can survive over a million on-off changes.
- A lower operating voltage, 1.5V (down from 3V)
- A 50% reduced power consumption
- An improved operating temperature range (the displays can now operate at -20 Celsius)
- Enhanced optical quality and appearance
- Faster switching speed
This is great news from Ynvisible, and hopefully this will enable the company to unlock new applications and markets for its ePaper displays.

Perhaps I'm missing…
Perhaps I'm missing something, but when "the display can survive over a million on-off changes." ... let's say that the user wants to watch a B/W video on the monitor where it's reasonable that the pixel will change ~5x/second ... then if I do the math:
1,000,000 divided by 5x/second = 200,000 seconds of video
divided by 60 = 3,333 minutes of video
divided by 60 = 55 1/2 hours of video ... until the pixels are expected to start failing!?!
That doesn't sound reasonable to me! Am I missing something here???
These displays are not meant…
These displays are not meant for watching video, they are used for use cases such as simple user interface, monitoring, packaging. So I think your video example is not really relevant for these apps.
