A new guide to promising perovskite materials: The Perovskite Handbook

The E-Ink-Info team takes pleasure in recommending our new book - The Perovskite Handbook. This book gives a comprehensive introduction to perovskite materials, applications and industry. Perovskites offer a myriad of exciting properties and has great potential for the display industry.

The Perovskite Handbook

ynvisible ramps up its in-house display production as the company aims to see its displays in the IOT market by 2019

ynvisible was established in Portugal in 2010 to develop flexible transparent electrochromic displays produced using a simple printing method. In 2011 the company started producing sample products (we tested one in August 2012). Fast forward to September 2018, the company has gone through a reverse take-over, and the now Canadian headquartered Ynvisible Interactive Inc. has inaugurated its new production line near Lisbon, and we had an interesting discussion with the company's CEO, Jani-Mikael Kuusisto who updates us on the company's technology and business.

ynvisible is focusing on developing the inks that are used to print these relatively simple displays for use in everyday consumer goods and printable surfaces. The electrochromic displays are cost-effective and highly energy-efficient. The company used to have a capacity to produce a few thousands of displays each month, but the new production facility can produce hundreds of thousands of displays each month.

e-skin displays demonstrates its plasmonic-LC reflective display prototypes at SID 2018

US-based e-skin Displays demonstrated early prototypes of its plasmonic reflective displays at SID Display 2018. The displays combine a reflective plasmonic surface with liquid crystals. The wavelength of the absorption depends on the liquid crystal orientation near the interface.

The company, who's collaborating with Merck in this project, says that its reflective displays will offer the best color gamut in the industry and the best contrast. The flexible displays can be produced using existing LCD production infrastructure and the company hopes to show a full color display prototype in early 2019, and large 6-inch by 9 inch full-color display samples by the end of 2019.

CLEARink demonstrates its latest color e-paper displays at SID 2018

Color e-paper developer CLEARink demonstrated its latest wearable color e-paper displays at SID 2018. The most interesting display was a 1.32" 202 PPI color e-paper display that offer a color gamut of 30% NTSC (1931 CIE) which is not up to par with regular emissive displays but looks quite good for a reflective display.

CLEARink's displays are electrophoretic displays that achieve color using color filters on top of the display. The panels offer a fast refresh rate which supports video.
